In order for an organization to remain successful, it must be able to fulfill its day-to-day operations without mistakes. If these demands cannot be met, a new project must be created in order to stay in business and ahead of the competition. If an organization has a problem, they can benefit from fixing it by following a formal process for identifying, selecting, initiating, and planning projects (Valacich, 2009).

The team must then come up with an actionable recommendation for each of the issues found. These should also be numbered.

Information. By the end of the plan of work within stage 2, the design team will have produced the concept design including project strategies for the proposed scheme. This will give the project a realistic prospect of developing into a possible project.

Once the appropriate approach is decided, the researcher can then act and reflect on the outcome. He or she will decide how to implement the decision

Input requirements for each task will be identified, documented and reviewed by the Project Manager (PM) who will take into account the results of contract review.

8/24: Ongoing discussion regarding QA/QC process and approach. Should the role of technical principal include more direct review of project documents? What is role of BPD and possible establishment of SF Project standard details? Continue discussion next week.

Phase one formally called out the projects due dates for each proposals. These projects where deemed to provide much more involvement including funding and exposure to proposed initiatives used. These proposed projects where informally presented by the respected representatives explaining how each project could change the business. It was concluded that numerous amounts of projects had a lack of diversity and most had similar initiatives. In conclusion to phase one, it became noticeably clear to the business unit representatives that many projects could not be initiated without another project being completed. Phase two enables each business unit to formally create project proposals in alignment to the type of investment and technological application involvement (some projects having similar initiatives). Prior to the proposals being finalised, the leader of each business unit leader ranks the projects by priority (what needs to be done first or last). Once the prioritisations for the projects had been set, a need to convert the newly developed business-unit-focused project assortment into a strictly enterprise-focused based portfolio. The conversion of business to enterprise portfolio, drastically changed the project list prioritisation. As many of the business units top priority projects where not practical until a few more years they had been considered as corporate projects. As a result, business unit

Chapter one will introduce the project proposal by giving a small description of the project, stating the project problems and identifying the solutions to the problem. Chapter two will identify the background behind the project problem by identifying the problem history, the relevance of the problem, the occurrence and reasons behind the particular problem, whether the problem has been solved and what has been achieved, whether the problems has solutions that solve it or similar systems that do not have the said problem and finally, the possible improvements that can be done to solve the problem. Chapter three will summarize what the intended project proposal achievement. Chapter four will look at the elements and scope of the project by breaking it down into the procedure required to actualize the project and the required tools of engagement. This chapter will also discuss the challenges and issues to be faced during implementation of the project such as the type of skills and equipment needed. The deliverables will also be discussed such as the project report, prototype, program and model describing the products of the project in detail. This chapter will emphasize the intended contributions of the project, timeline and budget. Finally, the last chapter that is chapter five will discuss the conclusion summary of the entire project

Further research is also needed to further implement and provide knowledge on the issue for further improvements and recommendations.

Project portfolio management can enable an organization to prune redundant or overlapping projects, use resources more effectively and to keep closer watch on projects' progress to ensure projects do not go over-budget or overtime (Solomon 2002:1). However, despite the technique's obvious advantages, it can meet with profound resistance when it is implemented in practice. 'Turf wars' are common at many organizations, in which representatives of various departments jockey for scarce resources. Every department has its 'pet projects' that it may fear losing to overly rigorous scrutiny.

process evolved into a more sophisticated scoring system based on a project's multiple attributes, such as commercial potential, technical risk, and investment requirements. Although the approach looked good on the surface, many people involved in it felt in the end that the company was following a kind of pseudoscience that lent an air of so-

In order to determine the best course of action, we need to first understand how we have come to this point and why the project is not providing the expected results. The following questions will help us in our discovery process:
