案例--- CONNEXT 项目
介绍
代表中东较小国家商业利益的中东贸易协会（META）决定创建一个“网络市场”，暂时称为 “Connext”。这个观念很简单：结合META现有的贸易名录，建立一个用户友好、数据驱动式的网络。它还将允许新的供应商和买家加入，从而创建一个在线市场交易。META渴望其能够快速发展起来。初 步调查表明,软件的开发和安装大约需要10周时间。
META已获得一些政府机构为该项目提供资金。然而，政府资助的一个条件是，META需要推广 政府的价值观，即诚实、道德和透明。META将承担所有的项目风险，以及在该网站注册的公司违背政 府价值观的风险。META需要检查所有的潜在买家和供应商以确保他们符合这些要求。
开发网站
为了开发Connext 网站，META广邀建议书。时间极为重要，因为一个竞争对手组织也正在为该地 区设计一个类似的网站。META想在10周内完成这个项目。
项目建议书
一家总部设在伦敦的信息技术咨询公司回复了以下的项目建议： “Connext的网站规格看起来很简单。我们将通过6个项目任务来完成它(包括所需的大概时间)，
如下所示：

注：所有天数均为工作日天数；5天=1周。
任务相关性
我们建议您按照以下方式运行这些任务。 从任务A开始。 当A完成后，你可以同时进行任务B和 D。当B 完成后，才能开始进行C。当D完成后，才能开始进行E。当C和E都完成后，你才能够开始进行F以完成整个项目。
该咨询公司指定了两名资深IT专业人员，二人均擅长短期项目：Paul Davis—数据库管理员，Rachael Jones – 网站开发人员。
建议书也提到这二人都希望日薪为500美元，外加差旅费和住宿费。
META的回应
META的采购员Richard估算，如果所有活动都能按照计划准确进行，那么项目就会按时完成。
CASE STUDY – THE CONNEXT PROJECT Introduction

问题 QUESTIONS
CASE STUDY – THE CONNEXT PROJECT Introduction
The Middle East Trade Association (META), representing the interests of businesses in one of the smaller
countries in the Middle East, had decided to launch a ‘web marketplace’ provisionally called ‘Connext’. The concept was simple: build a user-friendly, data-driven website that combined META’s existing trade directories. It would also allow new suppliers and buyers to join in order to create an online market exchange. META was keen to develop this quickly and initial investigations had indicated that the development and installation of the software should take approximately 10 weeks.
META had secured some government funds to finance the project. However, a condition of the government funding was that META should promote the government’s values of honesty, ethical behaviour and transparency. META would be held responsible for all project risks, plus any breaches of the government’s values by companies registering to use the site. META would be required to check any potential buyers and suppliers to ensure they conformed to these requirements.
Developing the Site
Proposals were invited for developing the Connext website. Time was of the essence as a rival organisation was planning a similar website for the region. META wanted to complete the project within 10 weeks.
Project Proposal
A London-based information technology (IT) consultancy replied with the following project proposal:
“The specification for this Connext website looks quite straightforward. We would tackle it using six project
tasks (with estimated durations) as follows:
|
Task |
Description |
Duration (working
days) |
Resources required |
|
A |
Systems analysis and design |
5 days |
2 people |
|
B |
Buyer interface design |
9 days |
1 person |
|
C |
Buyer database configuration |
22 days |
1 person |
|
D |
Supplier database configuration |
17 days |
1 person |
|
E |
Load supplier data records |
7 days |
1 person |
|
F |
Test and implementation |
10 days |
2 people |
All days are working days; 5 days = 1 week.
Task dependencies
Fig. 1
We suggest you run the tasks as follows. Start the project with Task A. When A is finished you can run Tasks B and D in parallel. When B is complete you can start Task C, and when D is finished you can start Task E. When both C and E are complete you can start Task F which finishes the project.”
The consultancy had identified two experienced IT professionals, both of whom were accustomed to working on short-term projects: Paul Davis – a database administrator
Rachael Jones – a website developer
The proposal also advised that both of them would each expect $500 per day worked, plus all their travel and hotel expenses.
META’s response
META’s buyer, Richard Griffiths, calculated that the project would be completed on time if all of the
activities went precisely to plan.
