The scope of our project can be to migrate Inventory, Purchasing, and
General Ledger and E-mail applications to a single virtual server in the cloud.
 The POS systems will directly connect to the new cloud servers.  We
could also migrate all of the workstations to virtual workstations.  This
would allow for smaller footprint workstations installed at locations that can
be easily updated.”

decision needs to be made to truncate a “work package.” Any decisions

tie will be decided by the project manager.

in order to deliver on time and with the quality expected.

Model” and along with the project manager will configure a “Critical
Path Analysis” so that a budget can be implemented and Stakeholders can be

resources.

meetings to ensure that all matters will be handled properly and carefully
