8 Risks RiskProbabilityImpactResponse Fruit unavailable MediumHigh adjust recipe/flavour of beverage to reflect fruits that are available Production is delayed Medium Find alternate production plant, call in experts to fix production machinery product from small scale production run is not good LowHigh adjust recipe/change fruit blend, add new flavor Juice

Risks RiskProbabilityImpactResponse Not meet FDA requirement LowHigh Schedule earlier, certificated designer Printing is delayed Medium Prepare alternate resource at beginning; ask for process schedule Delivery is delayed Low Ask early delivery for finished printing Label

10 Risks Package Needs to be completed  Recyclable Program Acceptance  Bottle Manufacturer  Supplier Chain

11 Deliverables 1) Bottle 2) Juice 3) Label

12 Milestones 1) Bottle Add bottle breakdown 2) Juice Vendor contracts signed Fruit Delivered Small scale production run completed Taste test/focus group completed Regulatory approval signed 3) Label Design file ready (2weeks) Digital printing approval and delivary

13 Cost Add Big Picture Cost i.e. – estimate cost for the three big deliverables (and we’ll have a more detailed cost breakdown after the WBS – I think is the best way to do it, but not sure…)

14 Gantt Chart I think it would be best to show the bar graphs of maybe the level three activities – because if we show bars for the level two activities – it is just going to be three solid bars going across from start to finish. And if we show level 4+ activities, the chart might start to get too confusing…. What do you think? And, include milestones? Also, should we include a bar for ‘project mgmt activities’ – mainly a small bar at the beginning of the timeline for planning and a small bar at the end of the timeline for close out activities…??

16 Time Structure We need to breakdown timeline and lengths of activities…. Does this need its own slide, or is this information already included in the WBS?

17 Cost Breakdown Detailed cost breakdown of all WBS activities Example format….(? I’m just making this up…could be used for time structure as well, or… combine cost and time??)

18 Communication Plan Who to be communicated? What to communicate How to communicate How often to communicate Naked Parent Company Project status /meetingsRegularly CustomersInformation about new product Marketing/advertise ments regularly Fruit VendorsOrdersContractsRegularly to check on orders Manufacturing Dept. Scheduling requirements /meetingsPrior to production date

19 Responsibility Matrix List WBS items Assign a code where appropriate: A – approves, S – supports, C – creates, I – informs, R - reviews PMSponsorJuice Team Bottle Team Label Team Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 Activity 4

20 Vendor Evaluation Criteria Don’t know what the best format for this is…what do you think? This is the content I came up with for Juice: Cost – looking for best value Quantity – need a vendor that produces large quantities Location – the closer to production plant the better Availability – growers that offer a variety of fruit throughout the year

21 Monitoring and Control Don’t know if we need content for this? Do the example projects have something like this

22 Anything else? What else are we missing? Anything stand out from the example projects?
