Project Plan for Whitbread World Sailboat Race
This paper describes the project plan for Bjorn Erickson to design and equip his country's sailboat entry into the Whitbread Sailboat race. It was found that the project plan had met the budget requirements but had not met the timeline requirements. Reducing the timeline without budget is a difficult matter as usually decreasing the timeline costs money. We will show in this paper how time requirements can be lowered without affecting costs. We will additionally explain the risks associated with these changes. The last portion of this paper will explain how projects are audited and closed and how the audit can help future projects with lessons learned. To begin, we will discuss the strategy for this project.
Bjorn Ericksen Project Strategy Analysis
Bjorn Erickson is tasked with designing and outfitting his country's entry into the Whitbread World Sailboat Race. His entry will be racing against 14 other countries that will be trying to out-design and race each other in a race that goes around the world and competes from September to May of the next year (Dalton, 1998). In this paper we will be discussing ways to reduce the length of this project without compromising the quality. The original project plan of the project was too lengthy and did not have money to spare so reductions were made to ensure the project was completed on time. The next section describes how these reductions were analyzed and what the results were.
