taking care of the IT requirements till now. This team is known as the ‘InternalSystem’in
ACE.Mr.Sharma,oneoftheVicePresidentsinSeniorManagementchoseMs.MaryD’Souzafromthe
InternalSystemteamasthe project manager for this assignment. Ms. Mary needs to co-
ordinatewith all the regional offices in the country to develop the software. Shewould
need inputs from all offices to decide the functionalities of thisapplication. This
application would integrate the existing email facility andensure that there are many
more features which support the collaborationneeds of the organisation.Mr.Sharmabriefs
Ms.Maryoftheabovementionedproblemstatementand the possible solution. Followed by
this, Ms.Mary is instructed to dothe needful.
Based on the above case, answer the following questions:
1. Prepare a business case
2. Draft the feasibility report
3. Identify the stake holders involved in this project with their suitablerole
and responsibilities
4. Under what circumstances can Ms.Mary outsource this work?
5. Identify few known quality principles/policies that can be implementedwhile
developing this project.

firm, has been awarded this project and Lillie has beenidentified as the project manager
for this project from D-Smart Infotech.Lillie has completed the feasibility study for this
project and D-SmartInfotech has decided to go ahead with the project.
The project deadline is very crucial and ends after one year of awardingthe project.
Since D-Smart Infotech is running short of human resources,it plans to outsource this
project again to a third party vendor. Since Lilliehasbeenassignedastheprojectmanager,she
hastoidentify, selectandnegotiate a vendor for this assignment. The school has awarded
