This exercise tests your ability to come up with a detailed and elaborate Business Case for a project. One of the main responsibilities of an IT Project Manager is writing and defending Project Proposals, that is, justifying the need for the project. You need to explain the organization’s need(s), the current situation, and why your proposed solution will work Assume that you wish to import a 14-seater Public Service Vehicle (PSV) to ply route 14 (Town-Nairobi West-Madaraka) of Nairobi City. You need to compute the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), that is, the cost of purchasing and maintaining the vehicle including the regulatory requirements. You are expected to take a loan at the prevailing rates and spread it as you wish (based on your assumptions-show the calculations). You then calculate projected income expected from the “Project” (again based on some assumptions which you need to state) and give a realistic position about the viability of getting into this “project”. You earn marks for presenting compelling arguments and succinct computations. Ensure that you have factored all aspects affecting the “Project”, for instance, costs should include the costs of servicing, insurance, et cetera and they should be factual.
