SUSANS CONSULTING COMPANY (SCC) – PROBLEM OVERVIEW
Company Overview: Susans Consulting Company (SCC) has been in business for ten years and has experienced a significant
turnover in the project management group, which has prompted senior leadership to investigate. A preliminary review by senior
leadership has determined that Project Managers are frustrated with the amount of required project management documentation,
which has impacted their ability to manage projects successfully. A recent review of the project management process has
determined that SCC has spent between 30-40% of its total project budget on projects’ overhead costs including project
management costs. A review of industry standards is between 5-15% higher than most companies. In addition, senior leaders found
that projects are being delivered between 25% and 50% over budget and late 95% of the time. Note: Project Management overhead
includes the PM’s time managing the project, attending meetings, and developing the required documentation. Request: SCC has
reached out to your team because you are experts in defining project management processes and delivering projects on time. The
SCC request includes the following:
