The new CIO of your chain of retail stores pledged to modernize the outdated, disparate systems
cluttered in business silos throughout offices scattered across the northeast U.S. She is a former partner
in Deloitte with an impressive resume and experience with very large projects for the U.S. Department of
Defense. One of the solutions she has put in motion is to replace the difficult-to-maintain legacy systems
for the company’s supply chain by implementing an “enterprise resource plan” by purchasing supply
chain modules from large firm PeopleSoft. She named you project manager, and this is a huge career
boost for you – if you don’t mess it up. The CIO promised the board this would be completed in two
years and deliver a return on investment shortly thereafter.

would you respond to each?
