19Introduction
To gain a competitive edge in today’s business world calls for
top-notch ideas coupled with technology. With the advent of the
internet era, every organization is seeking a space to popularize
its products online. Like most successful organizations, Bob
Evans Farms, Inc. prides itself for embracing this change too.
To beat disadvantage posited by geographical space, Bob Evans
has identified a niche in reaching out to its clients over the
internet. This is in line with the firm’s strategic plans to
improve on its customers experience by offering customer
centered services. This platform sales to a large group of
individuals while equally saving the organization the trouble of
massive advertisement on other medias like TV and Radio
(Fazlollahi, 2002).
Every house hold has at least a smartphone or tablet and with
the digital revolution, human beings spend more time on this
hand held devices than on any other activity. This fact equally
proves the potential of the eMenu service meant to run on hand
held devices. Infographics published in 2012 by Nielsen affirm,
61% of global respondents indicated they use online platforms
to order foods, beverages and groceries due to convenience,
value and choice (Nielsen.com, 2012).
To that end, the recently approved roll out of an iPad and tablet
e-Menu system project is very crucial in netting in a
competitive advantage. The said project is expected to solve the
problem of scanty information on the market about Bob Evans
Firm (Barling, 2011). Secondly, it aims at offering an online
tool to make fast orders at the comfort of one’s home or office
and get the food delivered conveniently (p.34). Bob Evans
farms, Inc. already holds a bank of information on customer
preferences pointing out on a demand for the firm to integrate
an online platform. This project documents the methodology
used in achieving an e-Menu system. To that end, it details
activities, a timeline schedule and resources consumed.
Project Management Approach
The project manager will head the steering committee. That is,
planning and organizing responsibilities all lie within his
docket. Due to the multifaceted nature of the project other key
personnel have been structured to work under the project
manager. This is a general rule of thumb that conforms to the
PMBOK guidelines that require only one top manager for all
project activities (Young, 2013). In general terms, the project
assumes a three tier organization model. Stakeholders
representing Bob Evans Farms Inc. are on one side of the sea
saw, the project manager at the middle of the tier, while vendors
on the other extreme end (p.56).
The project manager, will be charged with securing all
resources necessary for running of the project from the
stakeholders. Equally important, he will recruit and manage an
8 member team including his own assistant. All work
delegations will be centrally managed by the manager with the
help of his assistant.
Vendors will be answerable to the project manager. To maintain
good ethic and a clear work direction, an acceptance criteria
will be developed and used to guard on all work proceedings. In
turn, the project manager will approve satisfactory work. In the
scenario that vendors work is unacceptable, the project manager
has the powers to terminate the contract.
Project Scope
To be termed successful, the e-Menu project will deliver a
software applications that will allow users log into the system
view available products and place orders. Towards this end, the
project spans a project kick off stage and a stake holders
meeting to inform and get approval from top managers. The
project further scopes an analysis of the e-Menu idea,
contracting a vendor to code the application, designing the
system, developing, testing, pilot roll out , training end users,
releasing contractors after deployment, and monitoring as well
as documenting lessons learnt.
This work has been divided into major deliverables and
classified as shown in the WBS. As stated earlier, contractors
will be employed to complete the design and development
phase. This is due to the fact that Bob Evans Firm doesn’t
specialize in systems designs. Milestone List
The below chart enlists all the major milestones for the e-Menu
Project. These dates represent important review dates
showcasing how the whole project is performing. In this sense,
a delay in realizing a milestone shows the project is not flowing
smoothly (Young, 2013). Milestones come in handy as a
proactive way to counter-check that deliverables are met.

Schedule Baseline and Work Breakdown Structure
The WBS details all activities that consume resources to
produce the eMenu system. Weeks start on Monday running all
through to Friday. A day contains 8 working hours, from
0800hrs to 1700hrs, plus an addition overtime hours where
deemed necessary. This work packages were constructed by an
integration of all team members, stakeholders and vendors to
ensure no resource is over consumed or underutilized.
Ineffective utilization of resources undoubtedly leads to project
failure and when such a project makes it through the finish line,
its Return on Investment is poor (Young, 2013).
The project schedule entails a Gantt chart which shows all
deliverables and also their links in an MS Project format. All
updates to this document will solemnly be handled by the
Project manager to ensure conformity.

Projects comprise rigorous activities to be accomplished in the
future. Since the future cannot be entirely predicted, giving
allowance for flexibility is very important (Young, 2013). In
other words, summing up ways in which to manage change is
unescapable. Firstly, the project involves a lot of reviews
making it possible to identify changing needs. After
identification of an unanticipated scenario, any stakeholder or
team member can raise the alarm, and an analysis of the
solution will ensue. This will be integrated group work to allow
for effective handling of the solution. After a solution is picked
from alternatives, monitoring this change comes to the picture
to reduce any vulnerability. These activities are meant to ensure
change is smooth and to avoid chaotic conditions like poor
resource management when a deviation from the course of
action take center stage (p.78).
Communications Management Plan
The communication plan details how information will flow
during project execution. According to Young, 80 % of projects
don’t withstand a test of time due to poor communication
strategies making this the major reason why projects fail (p.34).
The project will have an integrated horizontal and vertical
communication lines in which everyone will be free to share
opinion via email or publicized project manager’s contacts.
Also, emails on work reviews will be released every Thursdays
to ensure vendors and stakeholders are kept a float on every
detail about the project. A laid down cycle on how
communication is done helps to ensure mails are checked on
time and promptly responded to (p.39).
Meetings: Meetings will be held after a fortnight to ensure
everything is in place. Before these meetings, the assistant
project manager will distribute memos to inform every one of
the meeting’s agenda.

Cost Management Plan
Success of the project plan boils down to the budget and cost
management (Young, 2013). The Project manager holds all
responsibilities to analyze the success of the project. To help
analyze cost deviations, under or over budgeting constraints MS
project reports will be used. In turn, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. top
managers will take charge of approving any budgetary
allocations based on the Project Managers presentations.
Financial masculinity of the e-Menu project will be measured
by the Earned value figures from MS project. Notably, all costs
will be calculated as the project progresses, team members will
be paid on a monthly basis whilst vendors will be paid after
completion of the work. Overtime work will be compensated
more than normal working hours and paid instantly.
CPI and SPI will be revisited during the above mentioned
weekly and monthly meetings. The figures will be
communicated using mediums outline in the communication
plan. The eMenu Cost and schedule variance will be computed
every Mondays. A negative cost variance will depict an over
budget (Budd & Budd, 2010). On the flip side, a positive
schedule variance will show the project is behind schedule. In
that sense, an SV figure of 2 and CV figure of –o.3 will move
the project to a cautionary stage in which all tasks will be
monitored. However, a double in the said figures will increase
the projects risks to critical and immediate actions to review
resource allocation will be called upon (p.80). Work
Management Plan
All the project work will be organized and controlled by the
project manager (Young, 2013). All documents will be signed
by stakeholders at the start of the project to ensure no delays in
the project. Meetings with vendors will be held prior to kick
starting the work to ensure an acceptance a criterion prevails.
Team members will be assigned duties by the project managers
and are expected to work in unison and report back to the
managers.Project Scope Management Plan
The project managers bear the whole responsibility to deliver
everything encompassed within the project scope (Budd &
Budd, 2010). This is well document in the project scope
statement and the WBS. In a proactive move to countercheck
the scope is delivered within budget and on time factoring
quality, stakeholders will identify work performance criteria.
This will be objectively inclined, so that, on a particular date
the scope deliverables are counter checked against what will be
physically achieved.
Changes will be handled in the same way detailed in the change
management category. In brief, problematic issues will be
analyzed, solutions determined and a monitoring phase will
ensue. In detail, these changes will have to reach Bob Evans
Farm Inc. to ensure conformity since changes definitely alter
the budget (P.67)Project Monitoring Strategies
The project entails multifaceted elements that have to be
monitored.
I. Schedule: Activities will be monitored to ensure they are on
track by use of the schedule variance (SV) as well as Schedule
performance Indexes (Budd & Budd, 2010). A positive SV of
more than 0.3 will mean activities are getting behind schedule.
The greater the SPI the more on schedule the project will be.
II. Budget: will be monitored as explained in the cost
management category. Monitoring this variable will borrow
largely from cost Variance (CV) and Cost Performance Index
(CPI).
III. Critical Path: The activity path followed to deliver the
activities will be strictly adhered to. A delay in any critical
activity will lead to a reschedule to ensure the time is
compensated. Moreover, activities on the critical path will be
allowed some lag to ensure enough time for their completion.
IV. Resource levels: the availability of resources will be
reviewed on a weekly basis. All resources are secured earlier
prior to work to ensure on time delivery. Also, buffer accounts
will be instituted to handle impromptu resource demands
Quality Management Plan
The entire e-Menu system will be checked by testers to ensure
the best quality is delivered. Quality management controls are
specified early in the project and later just counter checked in
the process of quality control. The project will first produce
prototypes that will be used as stepping stones to ensure
optimum quality management. Testers will counter check the
system both at unit level and the integration level to ensure the
application is running well as well as it can be accessed by the
public as specified in the specifications (Young, 2013 p.102).
Risk Management Plan
Risks will manifest themselves throughout the project. Efforts
will be directed to proactively identify and mitigate any risky
elements. This will then be graded to ensure all risks are
included in the risk matrix (Young, 2013).
After identification, risks will be analyzed, classified,
mitigated and lastly monitored to ensure they don’t manifest in
another ‘form’. Risk status will be updated after every three
weeks while monitoring will be conducted by assigned team
members throughout the project. Risk Register - 02/29/2016

Staffing Management Plan
The project managers will recruit a team of 6 members to help
carrying out in house work. In addition vendors will be
outsourced to build the iPad and tablet e-Menu system. Staffing
requirements include:
I. Project Managers (2 positions) – the overall PM and his
assistant will be responsible for coordinating all project
activities.
II. Marketing Analyst (1 position): Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
marketing analyst will provide demographic details on the
target clients and what best appeals to them.
III. Secretary (1 position): an in-house secretary will document
minutes, write reports on reviews as well as ensure
communication flows to everyone.
IV. Field Assistant (2 positions): will work with vendors to
ensure e-menu system meets specification needs.
V. Business Analyst (1 position): will inform the vendors of all
business processes needed to be included in the system.
VI. Quality Assurance Officer (2 positions): will ensure the
built system is of high quality and meets all industrial
standards.
VII. IT Specialist (3 positions): will be responsible in ensuring
the e-menu system integrates perfectly with the underlying Bob
Evans Farms Inc. IT infrastructure. This member will further
advice on the best system practices that needs to be instituted.
Resources
The Bob Evans Inc. e-Menu project like any other project will
require inputs so that output is realized. The project is schedule
to run for 136 working days with $21,946 consumed to pay team
members, contractors and managers. Individuals are
compensated per hour according to their skills. An overtime
compensation also exists for extra hours worked and differs
across board. Notably, the overtime costs exceed normal
working hour’s costs to offer an incentive for workers to be
engaged during overtime working hours (p.83).

  • 2. ………………………………………………………………………… 19Introduction To gain a competitive edge in today’s business world calls for top-notch ideas coupled with technology. With the advent of the internet era, every organization is seeking a space to popularize its products online. Like most successful organizations, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. prides itself for embracing this change too. To beat disadvantage posited by geographical space, Bob Evans has identified a niche in reaching out to its clients over the internet. This is in line with the firm’s strategic plans to improve on its customers experience by offering customer centered services. This platform sales to a large group of individuals while equally saving the organization the trouble of massive advertisement on other medias like TV and Radio (Fazlollahi, 2002). Every house hold has at least a smartphone or tablet and with the digital revolution, human beings spend more time on this hand held devices than on any other activity. This fact equally proves the potential of the eMenu service meant to run on hand held devices. Infographics published in 2012 by Nielsen affirm, 61% of global respondents indicated they use online platforms to order foods, beverages and groceries due to convenience, value and choice (Nielsen.com, 2012). To that end, the recently approved roll out of an iPad and tablet e-Menu system project is very crucial in netting in a competitive advantage. The said project is expected to solve the problem of scanty information on the market about Bob Evans Firm (Barling, 2011). Secondly, it aims at offering an online tool to make fast orders at the comfort of one’s home or office and get the food delivered conveniently (p.34). Bob Evans farms, Inc. already holds a bank of information on customer preferences pointing out on a demand for the firm to integrate an online platform. This project documents the methodology
  • 3. used in achieving an e-Menu system. To that end, it details activities, a timeline schedule and resources consumed. Project Management Approach The project manager will head the steering committee. That is, planning and organizing responsibilities all lie within his docket. Due to the multifaceted nature of the project other key personnel have been structured to work under the project manager. This is a general rule of thumb that conforms to the PMBOK guidelines that require only one top manager for all project activities (Young, 2013). In general terms, the project assumes a three tier organization model. Stakeholders representing Bob Evans Farms Inc. are on one side of the sea saw, the project manager at the middle of the tier, while vendors on the other extreme end (p.56). The project manager, will be charged with securing all resources necessary for running of the project from the stakeholders. Equally important, he will recruit and manage an 8 member team including his own assistant. All work delegations will be centrally managed by the manager with the help of his assistant. Vendors will be answerable to the project manager. To maintain good ethic and a clear work direction, an acceptance criteria will be developed and used to guard on all work proceedings. In turn, the project manager will approve satisfactory work. In the scenario that vendors work is unacceptable, the project manager has the powers to terminate the contract. Project Scope To be termed successful, the e-Menu project will deliver a software applications that will allow users log into the system view available products and place orders. Towards this end, the project spans a project kick off stage and a stake holders meeting to inform and get approval from top managers. The project further scopes an analysis of the e-Menu idea,
  • 4. contracting a vendor to code the application, designing the system, developing, testing, pilot roll out , training end users, releasing contractors after deployment, and monitoring as well as documenting lessons learnt. This work has been divided into major deliverables and classified as shown in the WBS. As stated earlier, contractors will be employed to complete the design and development phase. This is due to the fact that Bob Evans Firm doesn’t specialize in systems designs. Milestone List The below chart enlists all the major milestones for the e-Menu Project. These dates represent important review dates showcasing how the whole project is performing. In this sense, a delay in realizing a milestone shows the project is not flowing smoothly (Young, 2013). Milestones come in handy as a proactive way to counter-check that deliverables are met.

Mon 01/08/16 Deployment complete The e-Menu system has been integrated and functional Mon 29/08/16 Project closure End of project Tue 06/09/16 . Schedule Baseline and Work Breakdown Structure The WBS details all activities that consume resources to produce the eMenu system. Weeks start on Monday running all through to Friday. A day contains 8 working hours, from 0800hrs to 1700hrs, plus an addition overtime hours where deemed necessary. This work packages were constructed by an integration of all team members, stakeholders and vendors to ensure no resource is over consumed or underutilized. Ineffective utilization of resources undoubtedly leads to project failure and when such a project makes it through the finish line, its Return on Investment is poor (Young, 2013). The project schedule entails a Gantt chart which shows all deliverables and also their links in an MS Project format. All updates to this document will solemnly be handled by the Project manager to ensure conformity. Task Name Work Baseline Variance

  • 22. future. Since the future cannot be entirely predicted, giving allowance for flexibility is very important (Young, 2013). In other words, summing up ways in which to manage change is unescapable. Firstly, the project involves a lot of reviews making it possible to identify changing needs. After identification of an unanticipated scenario, any stakeholder or team member can raise the alarm, and an analysis of the solution will ensue. This will be integrated group work to allow for effective handling of the solution. After a solution is picked from alternatives, monitoring this change comes to the picture to reduce any vulnerability. These activities are meant to ensure change is smooth and to avoid chaotic conditions like poor resource management when a deviation from the course of action take center stage (p.78). Communications Management Plan The communication plan details how information will flow during project execution. According to Young, 80 % of projects don’t withstand a test of time due to poor communication strategies making this the major reason why projects fail (p.34). The project will have an integrated horizontal and vertical communication lines in which everyone will be free to share opinion via email or publicized project manager’s contacts. Also, emails on work reviews will be released every Thursdays to ensure vendors and stakeholders are kept a float on every detail about the project. A laid down cycle on how communication is done helps to ensure mails are checked on time and promptly responded to (p.39). Meetings: Meetings will be held after a fortnight to ensure everything is in place. Before these meetings, the assistant project manager will distribute memos to inform every one of the meeting’s agenda. Communication Type Description Frequency Format

  • 24. Cost Management Plan Success of the project plan boils down to the budget and cost management (Young, 2013). The Project manager holds all responsibilities to analyze the success of the project. To help analyze cost deviations, under or over budgeting constraints MS project reports will be used. In turn, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. top managers will take charge of approving any budgetary allocations based on the Project Managers presentations. Financial masculinity of the e-Menu project will be measured by the Earned value figures from MS project. Notably, all costs will be calculated as the project progresses, team members will be paid on a monthly basis whilst vendors will be paid after completion of the work. Overtime work will be compensated more than normal working hours and paid instantly. CPI and SPI will be revisited during the above mentioned weekly and monthly meetings. The figures will be communicated using mediums outline in the communication plan. The eMenu Cost and schedule variance will be computed every Mondays. A negative cost variance will depict an over budget (Budd & Budd, 2010). On the flip side, a positive schedule variance will show the project is behind schedule. In that sense, an SV figure of 2 and CV figure of –o.3 will move the project to a cautionary stage in which all tasks will be monitored. However, a double in the said figures will increase the projects risks to critical and immediate actions to review resource allocation will be called upon (p.80). Work Management Plan All the project work will be organized and controlled by the project manager (Young, 2013). All documents will be signed by stakeholders at the start of the project to ensure no delays in the project. Meetings with vendors will be held prior to kick starting the work to ensure an acceptance a criterion prevails. Team members will be assigned duties by the project managers
  • 25. and are expected to work in unison and report back to the managers.Project Scope Management Plan The project managers bear the whole responsibility to deliver everything encompassed within the project scope (Budd & Budd, 2010). This is well document in the project scope statement and the WBS. In a proactive move to countercheck the scope is delivered within budget and on time factoring quality, stakeholders will identify work performance criteria. This will be objectively inclined, so that, on a particular date the scope deliverables are counter checked against what will be physically achieved. Changes will be handled in the same way detailed in the change management category. In brief, problematic issues will be analyzed, solutions determined and a monitoring phase will ensue. In detail, these changes will have to reach Bob Evans Farm Inc. to ensure conformity since changes definitely alter the budget (P.67)Project Monitoring Strategies The project entails multifaceted elements that have to be monitored. I. Schedule: Activities will be monitored to ensure they are on track by use of the schedule variance (SV) as well as Schedule performance Indexes (Budd & Budd, 2010). A positive SV of more than 0.3 will mean activities are getting behind schedule. The greater the SPI the more on schedule the project will be. II. Budget: will be monitored as explained in the cost management category. Monitoring this variable will borrow largely from cost Variance (CV) and Cost Performance Index (CPI). III. Critical Path: The activity path followed to deliver the activities will be strictly adhered to. A delay in any critical activity will lead to a reschedule to ensure the time is
  • 26. compensated. Moreover, activities on the critical path will be allowed some lag to ensure enough time for their completion. IV. Resource levels: the availability of resources will be reviewed on a weekly basis. All resources are secured earlier prior to work to ensure on time delivery. Also, buffer accounts will be instituted to handle impromptu resource demands Quality Management Plan The entire e-Menu system will be checked by testers to ensure the best quality is delivered. Quality management controls are specified early in the project and later just counter checked in the process of quality control. The project will first produce prototypes that will be used as stepping stones to ensure optimum quality management. Testers will counter check the system both at unit level and the integration level to ensure the application is running well as well as it can be accessed by the public as specified in the specifications (Young, 2013 p.102). Risk Management Plan Risks will manifest themselves throughout the project. Efforts will be directed to proactively identify and mitigate any risky elements. This will then be graded to ensure all risks are included in the risk matrix (Young, 2013). After identification, risks will be analyzed, classified, mitigated and lastly monitored to ensure they don’t manifest in another ‘form’. Risk status will be updated after every three weeks while monitoring will be conducted by assigned team members throughout the project.

This member will further advice on the best system practices that needs to be instituted. Resources The Bob Evans Inc. e-Menu project like any other project will require inputs so that output is realized. The project is schedule to run for 136 working days with $21,946 consumed to pay team members, contractors and managers. Individuals are compensated per hour according to their skills. An overtime compensation also exists for extra hours worked and differs across board. Notably, the overtime costs exceed normal working hour’s costs to offer an incentive for workers to be engaged during overtime working hours (p.83).
