INF70005 Systems Project Management Assignment

You are working as a senior consultant for Getronics Consultancy, a leading Information Systems solution provider in Australia.
The Account Manager, Nicole Hall, calls you into her office Monday morning for a meeting with her and the head of delivery, Bill Bulter, and says “Have I got the job for you!”
“We have decided to respond to a request for proposal (RFP) from The NSW Department of Attorney General & Justice (DAGJ), on behalf of NSW Trustee and Guardian (NSWTG), who are seeking tenders for a Client Management System for managing its client service operations”.
1. Describe how you are going to prepare for the task of preparing the RFP response.
2. Prepare the Project Management Plan outlining strategy for delivering and managing the project. Sections to be included are Executive Summary, Background, Objectives, Scope, Constraints, Assumptions, Risks, Deliverables, Issues, Team Structure, Roles and Responsibilities, project schedule (Gantt chart) and pricing schedule.
3. As part of your response to the RFP also submit a section on why DHS should choose Getronics Consultancy – demonstrating the project management processes you will operate and how you will operate them to ensure the project is a success.
Note as part of this assignment you will be doing the questions above instead of filling out the entire Tender Response Schedule in the RFP.
You also do not need to provide a Statement of Compliance – Contract – which of course means you do not need to spend time reading the “2020-ICT-SERVICES–Contract-Guidedoc” embedded in the RFP. In a real life scenario you or your legal office would read the contract though to check if there were any specific conditions (eg warranty length, or project processes) hidden in there that may affect your costs and/or risk.
With respect to addressing scope just reference the functional scope at the heading level in “TAG Functional Req spec may 12” eg: Specification 1. Client Intake. Do not bother with addressing the detail within the requirement the covers Description/Data Process Requirements/Functionality etc. Assignment – INF70005 Systems Project Management 1
