The WHIS team will develop an information system for Husky Air and its Pilot Angels program to more efficiently track volunteer pilots and their aircraft, as well as requests from hospitals, patients, and organ banks. This will replace Husky Air's current paper-based filing system. The goals are to provide faster service, lower costs, and increase business productivity. Key measurable outcomes include a 10% increase in aviation-related profits for partner hospitals within a year and decreasing customer wait and communication times by 80%. The system aims to benefit customers through increased convenience and hospitals through reduced costs and improved historic records.

Executive Summary
The Husky Air Information Systems have progressed from the request of the system to
the creation of the system plan, the framework and project management scheme. Through the
planning and creation of this framework, the team has laid the foundations for the creation to
take place. With the help of the team, the business case with a feasibility analysis and cost
benefits has been created to fit the description of the project. The team has also created planned
and budget the project with risk management plans, earning value and quality management
plans.
However, apart from this framework work, more had to be done to put the system in the
hands of Husky Air Information Systems. The following statements are what must be done to
complete the correct implementation if the Husky Air information system. The system needs to
be enhanced by the current systems once the original user requirements and recommendations
have been completed. The team has also planned to create a prototype user interface, as well as
an implementation plan that must be designed to connect the old systems information to the new
system. Once an interface and enhancement of the current system have been approved and the
programming has been completed, the team will congregate in the implementation phase and
continue to evaluate the project and evaluate the MOV. The maintenance will be carried out after
the successful implementation of the Husky Air information systems.

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 at 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 an 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 FOB’s at other airports offer similar services, Husky Air has been receiving increased
attention through the Midwest for it charters service, maintenance, 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 needy people whose health care problems require
them to travel to receive diagnostic or treatment services. In addition, Pilot Angels also will
provide transportation for donor organs, supplies, and medical personnel. All flights are free of
charge and the costs are paid for by the volunteer pilots who use their own aircraft.
The pilots who volunteer for the Pilot Angel 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 no or little assistance. The Pilot Angel passengers typically travel to or from
a hospital or clinic for diagnosis, surgery, or some other treatment. Travel companions, such as a
relative, friend, or nurse, are common.
5. 5
Project Charter – Husky Air
Currently, a pool of pilot volunteers is kept in a file folder. If a hospital or person with a medical
or financial hardship contacts Husky Air, the name of the traveler, the destination, dates/times,
and the number of travel companions are requested. Because of limited weight restrictions in
small aircraft, 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 Angel
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.
The Project Description
Husky Air would like to have a computer-based system to keep track of all its Pilot Angel
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 who
request the Pilot Angel 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 Angel flights to recognize specific
volunteers for their contributions. This would include:
▪ The pilot who flew the flight
▪ The passengers on board
▪ 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

VI. Short Bio
My name is Marquis Bryant, I am currently a senior at VCU. My major is information
systems. I am scheduled to graduate in December 2018. I am from Newport News, Virginia.
Some of my hobbies are listening to music, sometimes playing it, surfing the internet. I chose
to be information systems major because I have enjoyed using computer since I was little and
over years I wanted to learn more about them. I have already got my associates degree in
information technology from Thomas Nelson. Which is the college that transferred from
before I got here last year. My plan once I graduate from VCU is the work in IT industry for
a private company or for the government.
I am a fourth year Information Systems student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I was
born on a military base in Lawton Oklahoma until I was 4 years old. I moved to North
Carolina and eventually Virginia when I was 5. I have grown in central Virginia most of life
and find it hard to imagine leaving Richmond. In a year or so I plan to pursue my passion for
IT and start a career in either Atlanta, Georgia or Portland, Oregon. In my free time, I also
enjoy being outdoors and doing things such as camping hiking and fishing. In contrast, video
games used to be a major part of my life, but I try to stray away from them more these days,
considering that they arguably wasted some of the best years of my life. It is a shame because
gaming in my rural community was one of the first, and one of the few small chances for me
to get interested in technology at all to begin with… my name is William Harris.
My name is Ingrid Salgado. I am a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University. I
transferred to VCU from Northern Virginia where I attended NOVA community college and
received my Associate Degree in Information Technology. I consider myself as outgoing,
laid-back, detail-oriented and hardworking. Some of my hobbies include listening to music,
watching T.V. and hanging out with friends. My anticipated graduation date is for December
2018, and my plans after graduating consists of moving back to NOVA and working in the
IT Field for a high innovative company. Still considering pursuing my masters as well but
would like to start working in the IT field first to get the career experience.
My name is Shaswat Khatiwada, I am a senior at Virginia commonwealth University. I also
transferred from NOVA where I received my Associate degree in Computer Science. I am
also from NOVA (Northern Virginia). I love lived there for more than 10 years. I am
originally from Nepal. In my free times I like playing video games, watch movies or
sometimes just take a nap. I love traveling so, every opportunity i get I always travel. At the
end of the year I am planning to travel to the West Coast.

Project Charter – Husky Air
Business Case Analysis
Learning Cycle
System Description:
The Husky Air are collaborated with Pilot Angels group both of whom transport patients
and/or other important things to hospitals in case of emergency. Our Information system will
help track all Pilot Angels, the plane they fly, their schedule, and availability for volunteering.
The Information system will include a database that will store the Pilots, their information such
as; phone number, names, experience in the field, trip details. The system is also created to track
the Planes information such as fuel cost, their life, maintenance, clients that flew using those
planes, where the plane is located. The Information system will allow the hospital and the clients
locate the plane and the pilot both for a faster and safe journey for their care, while improving
documentation and easy retriever of the information.
Project Value:
With the new Information System Husky Air will be able to shorten their interaction time
with the volunteer and provide a more accurate and reliable service to their customer with the
new computer-based systems for both the volunteers and clients.
Project Goals:
● Provide volunteer’s personal information and schedule
● Keep track of customer information and their requests
● Lower cost
● Increase business productivity
● Patients to be helped in a 24-hour timeframe
Measurable Organizational Value(MOV):
Identify the desire area of impact:
Customers: We will target convenience and efficiency of the hospitals and patients who use the
Pilot Angles service by overhauling their current file record keeping system and replacing it with
a database of the volunteer pilots’ information.
Strategic: One prospect of implementing our information system would be to give Husky Air a
competitive edge in accessibility compared to alternative services. This would allow the patients
to receive medical attention more quickly and increase their overall satisfaction with the Pilot
Angles
10. 10
Project Charter – Husky Air
Financial: Since the Pilot Angles are volunteers they will not receive much direct benefit from
our system, however, the hospital with likely be able to use reduced slack time to focus on other
business improvement objectives.
Operational: Currently medical services are already semi-effective with their current paper
record keeping system but there is still room for improvement. Our information system would
increase efficiency by making the records pertaining the volunteers more readily accessible in a
database. This would include everything from weight restrictions to destinations’ dates and
times.
Social: From a customer standpoint our information system would improve their quality of life
increasing their access to medical attention. Part of the Pilot Angles availability information
would be made accessible to the public to lookup so that they could request medical attention at
their convenience. This information would be made publicly available with limited access to
those in need of medical attention.
Identify the Desired Value of the IT Project
Better? Husky Air Pilot Angels currently use and paper and pencil record keeping system. This
works but could be greatly improved with increased accessibility through the implementation of
a database system
Faster? Finding out the availability of a Pilot and their corresponding weight and capacity
restrictions can be a tedious time-consuming process especially with a hard copy file system the
increased accessibility of a database would certainly decrease the amount of time that it takes to
link hospitals, pilots, and patients.
Cheaper? Our information system has the potential to arrange husky refueling and maintenance
process by recording the dates and assigning new ones in the future. It would also help keep
inventory records to reduce waste and ensure all materials are being used efficiently.
Do More? Husky Air would like to know more information about the pilots and customers that
use their services. Other information that they would like to keep records of includes pilots’
ratings/contributions, passengers on board flights, planes used, time of flights, distance, and total
fuel used. This information could help benefit hospital by helping reduce costs and benefit
customers by increasing historic awareness.
Develop an appropriate metric
The goal implementing our information system with Husky Air is increase the customer
satisfaction and the profits of the medical facilities who use their service. For the hospitals we
hope to target a 10% increase in aviation related profits made from patient request fulfillment.
This increase should come from an influx of patients using the convenience of our information to
make more frequent appointments and will be measured one year after the system goes live. We
11. 11
Project Charter – Husky Air
also hope to see a decrease in customer wait time and decreasing transportation and
communication time by 80%.
Set a time frame for achieving the MOV
For the Customer area of impact should be achieved in 6 to 12 months for customers to see the
faster service because the system will have to build it first and the volunteers will need time to be
familiar with the system.
For the Strategic area of impact should be achieved in 12 to 18 months. Since the company will
need to develop the strategy for the company to follow the next 10 years with the new
information system.
Financial area of impact will take 6 months to see the monetary effects of switching from a paper
and pencil system to computer information system. The switch between systems should save
husky air pilots and hospital a lot of money when it comes to record keeping.
The operational area of impact should be achieved in 12 to 18 months to be improved by the new
system. Since the system will need to be developed and volunteer and hospital being trained with
the new system.
Social area of impact should be achieved in 6 months after system built. With the new
information system, husky air pilots can begin to interact more with the patients with information
being more accessible for them. They will also be able to match patients to volunteer based on
their specific needs.

Recommendation:
The W.M.I.S. Database System shows the best alternative for Husky Air-Pilot Angels to build
Husky Air their own system. There are multiple reasons that our information system will not
16. 16
Project Charter – Husky Air
only improve Husky Air Pilot Angels but also provide top benefits to their customers. One
reason pertains to the measurable organizational value (MOV) that the system will provide. The
MOV provides a solid foundation and framework that guarantees the success of our IS. This will
be accomplished by targeting specific target areas that will be improved such as the social and
operational values of the company. Other existing alternatives do not provide the same well-
defined solution that our approach intends to accomplish. This can also be quantified by the low
cost of the custom system that will be related to Husky Air Pilot Angels wants and needs. With
the purchase of a few computers and tablets for the pilots, this will aid everyone to keep track of
their schedules and to receive and provide information to customers efficiently. It will reduce
time for the employees to get their work done in a productive, accurately and timely manner
along with ongoing support from the administrator and developers that will be at reach always.
Per the comparison chart, the benefits from building their own system will allow Husky Air Pilot
Angels and their customers to have a close relationship and improve customer transportation and
satisfaction.

Contract Payment Method
Our direct and indirect costs will be covered by the Cost-plus-fee (CPF) or cost-plus-
percentage-of-cost (CPPC) contract type. This will be a varying predetermined fixed amount
based on the cost resource table. These values will fluctuate as the costs of the project change
over time. This contract method will also cover future labor costs associated with software
updates and maintenance.
Team Assessment:
Our team has come a long way in learning how to delegate tasks and responsibilities. We start
by setting up two meetings a week where we conduct research and brainstorm about the
deliverables for projects. We have discovered that the most efficient way to complete work is to
initially collaborate and then divide up tasks to work on together. For example, will helped
establish the MOV, while Marquis helped to incorporate an appropriate metrics and develop the
work breakdown structure. Ingrid and Shaswat worked on defining the total benefit of
ownership and the cost of ownership. The Team worked together helping each other in every
possible roadblock. No issues have arisen within the team, all members have work
cooperatively and effectively therefore no changes will be required in the project charter.

A potential risk

45. 45
Project Charter – Husky Air
In what ways
could this
risk impact the
MOV?
Failing to
initialize the
project and
collect
requirements
could cause the
duration of the
project to
increase.
Conflict could
cause a lack of
progress and
decrease the
chances of
reaching the
target
MOV.
If the new
system is
rejected, then
the entire
project would
be a failure
because the
MOV would
not have been
reached.
If the project is
delayed, then it
will increase
development
costs past
the original
work
breakdown.
If the
evaluation
takes longer
than
expected
then it will also
increase the
project's
duration until it
is fully
evaluated.
How could
this potentially
impact the
project
objectives
(scope, quality,
schedule,
budget)
If the
requirements
are not
correctly
acquired then it
could put the
project on the
wrong track.
The quality
would be
misdirected,
and costs and
duration would
likely increase
to compensate
for error.
If the team is
not cohesive it
could lengthen
the overall
project.
The project
failing to be
quickly adapted
would increase
the time it takes
to get the
system fully
online and
likely increase
in cost because
employees
would need
further
training.
If the project
was delayed or
rejected, then
the quality
would be
improved
until it was
expected. This
would certainly
increase the
overall costs
and time or the
project.
The project
duration would
be extended
because of this
risk.
There would
also be added
cost associated
with the effort
to correct the
problem with
the project.
Source(s) of
project risk
(people, legal,
process,
environment,
technology,
organization,
project, other)
The source of
this risk would
mostly come
from the
environmental
social aspects of
the project. It
could also come
from an
organizational
issue if the
requirements
are not
disseminated
This risk
would most
likely develop
internally
because of the
team have
conflict.
The cause of
these issues
would
probably be
from our team
itself. That
would also
include issues
that Husky air
had with our
project.
If the project is
delayed or
rejected it
would be
entirely our
teams’ fault.
The source of
this would
once again be
our teams fault
and not Husky

Are the
sources of risk

external to the

This could

external.
This would be

Earned Value & Quality Management Plan
Introduction:
The Management plan of Husky Air will install procedures to enclose and encase the
quality through the closure of the project and after the project. The Management Plan for Husky
Air has objectives and approaches that will reach and are the following:
I. Ensure Quality
II. Ensure Accessibility
III. Ensure Integrity and Reliability
IV. Ensure Expandability and Maintainability Quality
Management Plan:
The Husky Air Quality Management Plan will validate and verify that the standard of
quality standards is in effect for the product metric and the process metric. This success in the
quality management plan is imperative for the future of the project.
Husky Air will ensure quality by ensuring that the process and the product are accessible and
correct to ensure that the use of the system is available and reliable. The product quality for
Husky Air will be defined by the product metric, which is defined by both the employees and
the Husky Air customer. Users will be behind the quality of the product to ensure maximum
acceptance by customers. The project team will assume the function of guaranteeing quality if
the product is acceptable to users.
Process Metric for Husky Air will focus on the process that Husky Air takes during its business
processes. This will ensure that the quality of the processes carried out complies with the
standards of the organization and the expectations of those who participate both the client and
Husky Air employees.
Quality Requirements/Standards:
Product Quality:
The product quality will be of high quality, the developers will develop the
product by keeping both the project sponsor and the users in mind. These requirements and
needs will be assessed and portrayed when defining the product and process metric. The
product will be controlled and monitoring highest customer satisfaction, reliability and security.
The process will be controlled through the monitory of defects and any glitches that may occur
during the process. The product will be validated multiple times before exporting it for business
needs.

Verification of Quality
The quality assurance of Husky Air will ensure that the final production of the information
system will be implemented and equipped effectively. The system will be constantly updated
and maintained for improvement and fix of bugs or problems. To ensure that the system is
adopted we will conduct walk-through sessions with the users to guarantee that they fully
understand the systems’ mechanics. This will ensure that the quality of the Husky Air
Information System is met throughout its lifecycle.
Technical Review: Our team will conduct a walk-through where the system developer
leads Husky Air to provide the opportunity for errors to be discovered and ensure that standards
are met. There will also be peer review inspections using a checklist to double check for
potential errors. This will be done to verify project deliverables throughout the entire project life
cycle by involving the users of the system and providing a chance for them to ask questions.
Business Reviews: To ensure that all deliverables are met we will conduct business
reviews that will provide information for the next phases, make sure standards are met, and that
the project methodology is being conformed to. These reviews will be cross checked to make
sure that they align with the mission of Husky Air.
Management Reviews: We will also compare the baseline project plan against the actual
project progress by conducting management reviews. These will provide a clear picture of
progress, issues that need to be resolved, adjusted resources, and alternative decisions.
Management may also review that project to make sure that it meets the project’s MOV, scope,
budget, and quality objectives.
Validation of Quality:
After reviewing Customers Input, we can analyze and depict users’ concerns, wants,
likes and needs on regular basis to make changes to ensure customer satisfaction. This can help
us ensure the quality through customer satisfaction. Usability test, that validates that the system
is usable and run efficiently can ensure the quality of the system for the user and project
sponsors. Prototyping can also help validate that the system and or user interface is approved by
user and can help easily make changes and correction as needed before the final product can be
delivered and can ensure quality.

Earned Value Analysis
Planned Value $13,280.00

Earned Value $10,880
Schedule Variance $(2,400)
Cost Variance $(2,840)
Schedule Performance Index 0.8
Cost Performance Index 0.8
Budget at Completion $14,040
Estimate at Completion $17,704.87
Analysis of status:
From our analysis, the cost variance is a negative $2840 with a negative schedule variance of
$2400. This puts the project at an estimated completion of $17,704.87. The project was
originally planned to cost $13,280 which shows us a $4,424.87 difference gap. Per the analysis
it does not seem that the original budget for the project completion is feasible and it would need
to be increased to get it on track with a reasonable time and cost.
Conclusion from Analysis:
The analysis computed concludes that we would refrain from outsourcing the system to
Bug Buster, based on the conclusion that it causes an increase in budget of approximately
$4,430. This results a fall in budget and schedule and the earned value is not matching for
future spending costs. Therefore, the best option for Husky Air is to find a new firm to
outsource the current development of the system.
