Slide 4 of 12
Notes:
We met our objective with the accounting application and then took on many different tasks and roles as the project grew.
We sold our first product May 5th 1999. When we installed the accounting application there was no distribution system in place, physically or electronically. Can you say OOPS! There was need for some overall project management.
Some of those responsibilities are listed here. Complicating our role was a lack of permanent employees. Until June of 1999 consultants and vendors outnumbered the permanent employees 5:1. In Sept 1999 permanent employees outnumbered consultants 7:1
Warehousing, IS department, call center, accounting, web development, pharmacy technicians, pharmacists. Our role of consultants changed considerably from implementations, to teachers on several occasions.
With all these changes the risk grows considerably and you need to manage it not wish it away.
