Question

Justify the commitment of Project D using the portfolio process you defined in (Project Outline). Make whatever assumptions are necessary (cash flows to fit NPV analysis, strategic alignment determination, etc.). Your team should prepare the following items for the report to be submitted to the Instructor:

Quantify the objectives of the various projects, the objectives of the SBU and the objectives of the parent company and present the KPIs of the industry . Other suggestions are:

· Assign weights to the specific parameters in the selection criteria in coming up with the final ranking and include a marketing component to measure perception

· Offer a risk assessment measurement and risk mitigation plan. Specify the types of risk, weigh them with respect to impact and offer a plan to handle. It would seem to me that each project has unique implementation and commercial risks, which would make the risk matrix a necessity.

· comments on any organizational and/or governance issues

Recommendation Memo—Write a relatively short memo to your manager describing your recommendation for changing the project portfoliobased on your portfolio process. Justify your decision on Project D and describe any impact on the rest of the programme (Projects A, B, and C) and your rationale for that impact. Attach whatever data is needed to back up your recommendation. This memo should be 6–8 pages (not counting attachments). No more than 6 pages of attachments for this part.

Executive Summary Project Plan—Assume you are in the definition phase of Project D and developing an executive-level project plan that will be an attachment to your recommendation memo. It should follow the attached outline. This document should be at least 8 pages but no more than 18 pages, including any attachments.

The documents should be double-spaced, in 10- or 12-point font, and with one-inch margins. These are documents for an executive, so be concise and to the point.

in the neighbourhood.  
Not only this, we want to be considered as the leaders in the field of eco-construction and 
a pioneer name in the world of eco-systems and complexes. This will start from Ontario and the

for you to understand the basis of the selection of the projects since this is considered as 
the initial step towards the development of the organization.
