Project Manager

Many experts believe that there is not much of a parallel when it comes to the logistic operations in the Military and commercial organization. This proposal will show rather or not U.S. military logistics have no parallel in the commercial world -- from its scope and size to the lethal position of the term "mission-critical" throughout the course of wars. In this world, the soldier is the client waiting for products like bullets, food, water, medication and fuel for tanks and other war vehicles.

The purpose of the proposal is to gain a better understanding of the comparisons and differences among the two, with an end-state of affecting whether or not Military logistics measures or inline, superior or inferior to our equals in the commercial world.

Project Purpose/Justification

The corporate world supposedly holds a major advantage as compared to the military: It involves in its main activity on a day-to-day basis and can continuously assess, on the source of real-world knowledge, whether a given organizational structure, strategy, or technique is helpful.

Business Need/Case

The marketplace influences businesses to seek continuous improvements in their approaches; even a huge company, for instance General Motors or IBM, can be positively criticized in the marketplace by a much smaller participant if the larger business becomes satisfied. Nevertheless, innovations that are prosperous in one organization cannot merely be applied to other commercial organizations, let alone to military ones.

Business Objectives

The business goals for this project are in direct support of our corporate strategic plan to improve Technological advances in the areas of telecommunications and data processing by comparing the military operation with the commercial world.

The ultimate goal is to create an organization that can adapt more quickly and flexibly to new information

In general, it may well be that, to show that the military forces have always been viewed as the ideal strictly categorized organizations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Obviously, military organizations are different from commercial ones. Maybe less clearly, the variation among military units and operations is such that the same organizational structure will not be appropriate for every situation. This study will show that the business world has a rich literature on organizational change, in addition to wide-ranging corporate experience with reorganization and acceptance of information technology. With due deference to the difference among military and commercial organizations, this paper will attempt to compare and show ideas on how to structure military establishments to take advantage of new information technology

Project Objectives and Success Criteria

The objectives, which equally support the indicators and deliverables for this project, have been acknowledged. So as to achieve achievement on the Military and commercial organization project, the following objectives must be met within the designated time and economical allocations.

Project Objectives and Success Criteria

Strategic Plan Element

Project's Objective

Measureable success criteria for this project objective

Find out the difference in Military and commercial organization functions

Show the corporate changes are in fact imitating military experience

Function of middle management:

Show that issues of organizational structure are also prominent in the business world

The aggregation, filtering, and transmission of information.

Show that the business literature is far from conclusive on how to organize to take full advantage of information technology

Find out how both military and commercial provide leadership to subordinates, performs various specialized functions,

Requirements

This project must meet the following list of requirements in order to achieve success.

The solution will need to be tested by using proper methodology assessments.

Answer must be applied without disturbance to processes

All participants involved must be notified that everything is done in confidentiality.

Extra necessities may be added as needed, with project guarantor support, as the project moves forward.

The Communications Coordinator must source the mainstream of the content for the information, or at least serve as an agent for employees and supervisors to bring up the content.

Constraints

The following constraints pertain to the Military and commercial organization project:

All Military and commercial employees must have access (in terms of selected time, hardware, personal login IDs and software) to the Military and commercial

All Military and commercial hardware and software must be well-matched with our current IT stages

All Military and commercial hardware and software must be acquired in agreement with the apportioned budget and timeline

IT Military and commercial specialists will be provided as resources for this project

Members of the Military and commercial Communications and Development department will be delivered as resources for this project

Assumptions

The following are a list of assumptions. Upon agreement and signature of this document, all parties acknowledge that...

All workers, hardware and software resources will be consummated by the project team. Altogether project work will be independent of commonplace and continuing operations and all obligatory testing will be done in the IT workroom. Project backing will be accomplished by the project manager up to and as well as the assigned quantities in this text. Any extra funding requires endorsement from the project guarantor. This project will close when PHASE 1 has been verified and positioned and employees are applying the Information technology among the Military and commercial as their main source of information and communication.
Risks

The following risks for the Employee Intranet project have been recognized. The project manager will regulate and employment the essential risk mitigation/escaping strategies as suitable to diminish the probability of these dangers:

Potential disruption to operations throughout deployment such as project priority and crisis/emergency circumstances.

Lack of worker interest/trust regarding the use of the Military and commercial

Misuse of employee Military and commercial

Security breaches around account login and status

Turnover and obtainability of key staff members to offer continuing support for the project

Project Deliverables

The next deliverables must be met upon the effective completion of Military and commercial project. Any changes to these deliverables will need to be approved by the project promoter and project manager.

Completely organized intranet solution (accomplishment of STAGE 1 of the invention)

Policy/training guidebook for usage of the Military and commercial comparison

Technical documentation involving Military and commercial (feature list/specifications) of STAGE 1

Recommendation and requirements list for future expansion of Military and commercial Login ID's must occur for every lively employee

Summary Milestone Schedule

The project Summary Milestone Schedule is accessible underneath. As conditions are more clearly well-defined this schedule may be changed. Any changes will be conversed through project status conferences by the project manager. As the project develops, augmentation to content and features will be essential. If this increase does not fit with the STAGE 1 Military and commercial project scope and timelines, they will be incorporated into a STAGE 2 Military and commercial project charter.
