Description of Project
Husky Air Pilot Angels was in need of a new scheduling system. Not having had a proper
system in place aside from “paper and pencil”. The organization has come to Team A.T.B. and
as consultants we have designed, planned, and evaluated a project for the client to utilize.
Throughout the course of this project the team has come together and worked together utilizing
everyone’s strengths and weaknesses to the best of their businesses spending many busy
nights together and at home to create an optimal system to offer our project sponsor.
Throughout the course of the project has created a team charter to ensure quality work and
efficient work ethic. After having created a team charter Team A.T.B. has assessed a measure
of organizational value (MOV). That the team continues to reflect on as we have worked
towards. As one of the team’s core members I have taken the time to make sure my values
have aligned with the team. Ensuring not only in the team charter, in all meetings,
communications, and on every assignments: accomplishments were shared and egos were left
at the door. Each colleague as well as myself was accountable for the work done. We continued
to strive to learn implementing lessons from the course and the textbook. Committed myself and
teammates to be aligned with the goal of providing quality work. To do and say the right things
so that everyone felt appreciated and understood, even difficult situations arose. And to have an
environment of trust as each group member were not only work colleagues, but friends.
Executive Summary
The project was composed of 8 major assignments/milestones. Kicking off the start of the
project and the first meeting was the coming together of the team charter. This document would
set the expectations of the team and every group member. This opportunity was also the first
chance for group members to know one another work gets done. Throughout the creation of the
project and as each assignment was laid out and finished the team has set the foundation for
the Husky Air scheduling system to take place. Significant aspects of the project that have
attributed to the creation of the project charter has been assessing the MOV, the WBS, quality
management plan, and project risk. The project now needs to be implemented and a prototype
needs to be created for testing. Once the prototype is in place and has been approved, the
scheduling system needs to be programmed for a product to be offered. To ensure that the
team develops a quality project, it is recommended to continue to communicate with the client
and project stakeholders to make sure that product is build effectively, on time, and with
excellence.

Original Case Study
Husky Air - Pilot Angels
Background
Husky Air opened for business in January 2008 when L.T. Scully and several other investors
pooled their life savings and secured a rather large loan from a Chicago Bank.
Located in DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport (DKB) in DeKalb, Illinois, Husky Air is a fixed
base operator (FBO) facility that offers a full range of services to the growing demands for
business and private aviation. Currently, the company has 23 employees composed of pilots,
mechanics, and office staff.
As a FBO, Husky Air provides:
● Business jet, propjet, helicopter, and propeller aircraft charter
● Refueling
● Airframe, engine, propeller, and avionics maintenance
● Aircraft rental
● Flight instruction
● Pilot supplies
Although FBOs at other airports offer similar services, Husky Air has been receiving
increased attention throughout the Midwest for its charter service, maintenance, and flight
instruction.
Pilot Angels
In addition, Husky Air coordinates a charitable service called Pilot Angels. Working with
hospitals, health-care agencies, and organ banks, Husky Air matches volunteer private pilots,
willing to donate their time and aircraft with need people whose health-care problems require
them to travel to receive diagnostic or treatment services. In addition, Pilot Angels also provides
transportation for donor organs, supplies, and medical personnel. All flights are free of charge,
and costs are paid for by volunteer pilots who use their own aircraft.
The pilots who volunteer for the Pilot Angels program need no medical training and offer
no medical assistance. The planes do not carry any medical equipment and do not have to
accommodate any stretchers. Patients, however, must be medically stable and able to enter
and exit the aircraft with little or no assistance. The Pilot Angels passengers typically travel to or
5. Alexander Truong
Husky Air Project Charter
Page 4
from a hospital or clinic for diagnosis, surgery, or some other treatment. Travel companions,
such as a relative, friend, or nurse, are common.
Currently, a pool of pilot volunteers is kept in a file folder. If a hospital or person with
medical or financial hardship contacts Husky Air, the name of the traveler, the destination,
date/times, and the number of travel companions are requested. Because of limite weight
restrictions in small aircrafts, the weights of the passengers and their luggage are needed as
well.
After the initial information is provided, Husky Air contacts the volunteer pilots to
determine their availability. Although a volunteer pilot may be willing and available for a Pilot
Angels flight, the plane may not have the range or weight-carrying requirements. This may be
an inefficient use of time since many pilots may have to be contacted until a pilot and suitable
plane can be found.
Project Description
Husky air would like to have a computer-based system to keep track of all its Pilot Angels
volunteers. Basic information about the pilots may include their name, address, phone number,
and so forth, as well as their total hours, certifications, and ratings. Moreover, specific
information about a volunteer’s aircraft would be useful. Such information should include the
type of plane, aircraft identification number (called the N number), whether single or multi-
engine, and its capacity for carrying passengers and cargo. Some pilots own more than one
plane.
Husky Air also wants to know more about the people, hospitals, clinics, and organ banks
that request the Pilots Angels service. In addition, they also would like basic information about
the patients, their passengers, and specific needs to help match volunteers with the request for
transport. Finally, Husky Air wants a list of all the Pilot Angels flights in order to recognize
specific volunteers for their contributions. This would include:
● The pilot who flew the flight
● The passengers onboard
● The plane that was used
● The total time of the flight
● The distance and destination of the flight
● The date and time of the flight
● The total fuel used

Personal Bios
Thabit Ababneh
My major is two fold, accounting and information systems; this is my senior year. Coming out of
college, I hope to pursue a career more focused in the accounting sector. I'm a very extroverted
person and don't shy away from confrontation or contradiction. That being said, I have learned
to try and curb the impulse to contradict or argue things as it often reflects a negative picture of
me. I’m an intellectual and objective. My greatest strength is the ability to organize a strategy
7. Alexander Truong
Husky Air Project Charter
Page 6
and keep things driven towards a goal. Essentially, I think I am good at getting things done.
Unfortunately, this attitude sometimes leads to a form of tunnel vision and can cause me to
overlook things. My hobbies include, other than arguing of course, drawing, painting, playing
soccer and playing video games. Lately, as a result of busy schedules, I'm much more active on
mobile video games on my phone as well as using a drawing app.
Alexander Truong
Information Systems major, junior year, graduating May of 2019. I’m a student that has
overcome
personal strife, that I would prefer to keep private. I struggle with time management,
organization, and perfectionism. I’m passionate about technology, as well as business. I’ve
made sacrifices to my lifestyle in order to perform to the best of my academic ability. I enjoy
working with people and making the best out of the work that needs to be done. I journal
frequently to stay on track of my visions, goals, and daily tasks. When you get to know me I’m
more talkative and outgoing. I want to say I enjoy presenting and speaking in front of people, but
I still get nervous. I believe hope is necessary and I am motivated by responsibility, duty, and
self-determination. I will do my best to figure out how to work with people and get things done. I
like to have books on the backburner that I occasionally read and acquire information from.
When I have free time I try to exercise, read, or watch tv/ go on the internet, but I’m more
committed to school at the moment. My other interests include boxing, kickboxing, MMA, as well
as self-improvement. I don’t have the prettiest academic transcript or past. I have however
learned to use my failure: to humble myself, learn about what it means to work hard, and how to
continuously improve. I currently have an internship with Infranet Technologies Group, and just
accepted my summer internship at the Federal Reserve. This is a big moment for me and the
ball is just rolling for what I want to do with my life. People claim that I’m bright and charismatic.
My anxiety and negativity tell me otherwise. I was diagnosed with ADHD in college, but I choose
to not take medication or get disability assistance. This is my 6th year in college. Despite these
setbacks, I’ll do what it takes to stand out, work hard, and get things done.
Bidesh
Namaste and good wishes. I am initially from Bhutan, and I came to the US in 2010. I have an
associate’s degree in Computer Science from J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. Here
at VCU, my current major is Information Systems with a minor in Computer Science. Currently, I
am a full-time student and am looking to gain some experience in the IT field this summer
break. I am a senior and will graduate this December. I am interested in pursuing a database
career. Aside from that, I am a music lover, in my free time I like to edit videos, play soccer, or
go to the gym to burn some extra calories. Due to my busy schedule, my current priority is
focusing on my studies and getting things done.

Alternatives
1. Maintain the current system, least effective option (system is poorly managed: all paper,
pencil, and phone calls).
2. Use a packaged solution available on the market called Airplane Manager.
https://airplanemanager.com/. The costs of using the software system and service is
$375/month.
3. Hire a professional office assistant familiar with managing schedules.
4. Build a custom system. This will be done with Oracle Apex. This system will be scalable
that handle more pilots as needed in future. But, to build this system, we will have to hire
a System Developer that will cost $ 45 per hour who will build cloud base system.

Recommendation
Our recommendation is for Husky Air to build a custom system and management
solution. In comparing alternatives based on the organizations needed requirements and budget
this is the most viable option. Based on the analysis of alternatives option 3 has the optimal
break even point, relative ROI, and best payback period. This is our recommendation as it
saves money and offers the same value.

Strategy The project
manager
communicates
with Husky Air to
clarify what the
goals and
specific
requirements are
Encourage
Employees to
come in under
time and
budget.
The project
manager have
to revise the
mov and make
sure it is
matching with
the user
requirements.
Accept Risk The project
manager, himself
have to mark the
date and work on
it accordingly.
Impact On
MOV
If this the goals
are not specific
enough they will
not provide
value to the
company
This risk has
no impact on
MOV as it
would mean
that the project
would end
earlier than
expected, but it
does not affect
what the
project delivers
but would
simply deliver it
sooner.
This risk have a
devastatingly
negative impact
on the project
MOV as the
project will not
do what the
organisation
needs it to do.
This risk would
not impact our
MOV. It would
however cause
the organisation
to have this
MOV
misevaluated
and which may
cause some
inappropriate
decisions in the
future to be
made
This will lead to
the extension of
one more day
and might
increase the
overall MOV time
frame.

Variance at Completion (VAC) $ 8,615.60
To Completion Performance Index (TCPI) for BAC 2.89726
To Completion Performance Index (TCPI) for EAC 0.779809
The CPI and SPI are both significantly below 1 meaning that the testing phase is both
behind schedule and over budget. As the testing phase is about 3 quarters finished with, and
these differences have been consistent throughout the project, we have decided to treat these
variances as typical, and so the EAC takes into account only the CPI. With an estimate of $
18,004.40 to be spent in total on the testing phase, we expect to incur costs of 5424.40 to
complete it. As our TCPI for our BAC is extremely high, it would be very difficult to complete this
project within the parameters set by the BAC. However, When adjusted for the EAC, the project
is much more feasible with a TCPI of about .78.
Conclusions
With the progress that the testing phase has already gone through there is little we can
do to correct this project all the way back to our original BAC. This variance in actual costs to
expected costs is due largely in part to the sophistication of the system that is being tested. That
is to say, we simply did not properly estimate the costs to begin with. With that in mind, It is
appropriate to revisit our budget to completion, and reflect this fact in it. These estimates were
however given to us from bug busters, and so going forward I would recommend that we either
rely on our own estimates when outsourcing to this organization, outsourcing to a more reliable
company, or locking in costs via a contract that holds bug busters to the estimate they provided
when it comes to cost (meaning that any additional expense due to prolonged task is out of
their pocket, not ours).

Part II. Quality Management Plan
TeamA.T.B’s Focus on Quality
As a team we have come together as individuals who not only strive to work hard and
provide quality work. But we ensure that our work commits to a set of standards and
expectations. Each individual strives for work excellence and we take measures to ensure that
the systems and products we design meet customer needs but we take the time to make sure
that the process is excellent as well. This is to make sure that the quality is built into the system
not after the system is made.
Our core philosophies and principles:
1. We focus on customer satisfaction.
2. We prevent mistakes before we make mistakes.
3. We’ve improve the process to improve our products.
4. We make sure that quality is everyone’s responsibility.
5. We work from experience and facts.
Quality Based Metrics
Team A.T.B adheres to a set of standards, processes and metrics. These are standards
that the team has agreed upon to meet specifications and criteria over years of experience.

● Process Quality: Process metrics are used to improve product development and the
maintenance processes. Our process metrics focus on the effectiveness of identifying
and removing defects and bugs.
● Product Quality: Process metrics are used to measure the intrinsic quality of the
deliverables and that satisfaction is met with these deliverables measured
.
● Project Quality: Our project management processes is used to ensure that the project
meets its overall goals that the scope, schedule, and budget objectives are managed
effectively.

TeamA.T.B Quality Assurance
Team A.T.B. ensures quality assurance. We provide a means of auditing the project to ensure
that we follow standards, processes, and metrics that are documented. In doing so we
continually deliver a system that meets our project customer’s needs and expectations. Done
through a series of our verification and validation activities for every product delivered.
