Description
This is going to be one of the part of a couple of the other parts of this case study, you just need to write accordingly only.
Overview: Case Study on Research and Development (R&D) Projects
The case study below offers an excellent perspective on how projects are often initiated under less than ideal circumstances—which often lays the ground work for project failure.
Companies that provide a service for another company usually respond to a bid document from a company that needs help. This case study is a good example of this situation. The bid document can be as simple as an email from the buyer to the seller or as complicated as a request for proposal (RFP) outlining the objectives of the project and asking a seller to develop a proposal that provides a solution.
Each company (seller and buyer) will have a business case for doing the project. The Peter’s Company is outsourcing for a reason. The Corwin Corporation is taking on the project for a different set of reasons. One of the reasons the Corwin Corporation is taking on the work is the looming, potentially very lucrative production contract if they are successful. There are no guarantees in research and development project that there will be success.
Here is the part that I would like you to write accordingly>>>
Prepare a requirements management plan (RMP) that addresses the five components described in Section 5.1.3.2, PMBOK 6e. The plan should be at least 3 but not exceed 4 pages and does not need to conform to APA guidelines (except for citing and referencing sources).
Some things to think about – how is the role of the in-house rep dealt with in the RMP as it relates to activities for planning, tracking, and reporting requirements? Configuration management is not just about software and versioning. What processes will be used for configuration management activities as they relate to changes in the product requirements? How and who will authorize/approve changes? The traceability structure should be tailored to the type of project and should ensure that each requirement adds business value.
Rubric
RMP
20 pts
Excellent
RMP conforms to PMBOK and fully addresses all five elements of the RMP. Tailored to the case study, it includes CM and logical reasoning for configurable items. Product metrics are related to rubber material. The traceability structure captures business, stakeholder, solution, project and transitional requirements.
17 pts
Good
The RMP presents content related to the five required components that is tailored to the case study but not well-organized or easy to follow. Remaining elements of exceptional definition are completed but with minor errors.
13 pts
Poor
The RMP presents content related to some of the five required components that is or is not tailored to the case study and is not well-organized or easy to follow. Remaining elements of exceptional definition are completed but with major errors.
Before you work on this part, the pdf file is PMBOK (must go through the mentioned part to work on this assignment), And the Word doc is the case study that you need to read and refer to the paper. Also, please make sure to check and follow the Rubric.
Most importantly, please never use AI tools (i.e. Chatgpt) to generate this paper, not even brainstorming. I have already canceled this assignment once due to the plagiarism issue. The school does have an AI detection program embedded in my submission process, I could see how many % was written by AI.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
