ARIBA IMPLEMENTATION IN MED-X case • Which of the two components (software, technical) are underperforming according to the plan? How do you know this? (Draw graphs, as necessary to make your point) • Technical component is underperforming. See graphs. • Are the components of the project within budget? How do you know? • Software component is within budget. • Technical component is not within budget. Prof. Suresh Nair, University of Connecticut

ARIBA IMPLEMENTATION IN MED-X case • What can you conclude by looking at the combined earned value data for the project? • Combined earned value is not a good indication of the individual work streams status. • Why did Terry Baker think that the project was going according to plan the entire time? • Gantt Chart did not show which component of the project was causing the delay. • Gantt Chart was not detailed enough and did not have enough sub-tasks. • Terry was not paying attention to how each individual tasks were progressing, but rather was looking from a higher level. • Overall project looked like it was on time (overperformance on technical side/underperformance on software side).
ARIBA IMPLEMENTATION IN MED-X case • How much longer will the project take? (it is September now) • One additional month beyond the estimated completion date (November). • What should Martin have done earlier in the project timeline to prevent delays? • Earned Value Analysis. • Identify underperformed work stream. • What should Martin do when managing future projects to prevent similar problems from developing? • Have a more granular work breakdown structure. • Implement earned value into early stages of the project.
