Running Case

The Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project team is working hard to ensure that the new system
they develop meets expectations. The team has a detailed scope statement, but the project man-
ager, Tony Prince, wants to make sure they’re not forgetting any requirements that might affect
how different people view the quality of the project. He knows that the project’s sponsor and other
senior managers are most concerned with getting people to use the system, improve their health,
and reduce healthcare costs. System users will want the system to be very user-friendly, informa-
tive, fun to use, and fast.

Tasks

1. Develop a list of quality standards or requirements related to meeting the stakeholder expec-
tations described above. Also provide a brief description of each requirement. For example,
a requirement might be that 90 percent of employees have logged into the system within two
weeks after the system rolls out.

2. Based on the list created for Task 1, determine how you will measure progress on meeting
the requirements . For example, you might have employees log into the system as part of the
training program and track who attends the training. You could also build a feature into the
system to track usage by user name, department, and so on.

3. After analyzing survey information, you decide to create a Pareto chart to easily see which
types of recreational programs and company-sponsored classes most people were interest-
ed in . First, create a spreadsheet in Excel , using the data in the table below. List the most fre-
quently requested programs or classes fi rst. Use the Excel template called pareto_ chart
and check your entries so your resulting chart looks similar to the one in Figure 8-7. See the
companion Web site for help in creating Pareto charts.
