Overview

This is the fifth and final course project deliverable in the series of five sequential assignments in this course. You are continuing in your role as the CTO of a hypothetical e-commerce start-up company of your design.

Throughout the course, you have been working on delivering an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility.

• In the first-course project deliverable, you created a project plan inception document and supporting Gantt chart.
• In the second-course project deliverable, you developed the business requirements to be incorporated into the information systems design you are creating. You also updated your original supporting Gantt chart based on major and minor tasks identified in the business requirements document.
• In the third-course project deliverable, you created an infrastructure design that considered the key elements of software, hardware, security, and business process flow for your e-commerce startup company. Once again you updated the supporting Gantt chart based on the major and minor tasks identified in the infrastructure design document.
• In the fourth course project deliverable you developed the system implementation document. This document spelled out the EFI technical aspects of your e-commerce company's information systems infrastructure. Again, you updated the supporting Gantt chart to reflect the major and minor tasks identified in the system implementation document.

You are now in the final stage of the project plan development. You will leverage all previous deliverables and integrate them into one document that will serve as the project's statement of work.

Your goal is for the start-up company's executive team and the venture capital group to approve and fund your project. A detailed project plan is necessary to accomplish the monumental implementation task. The executive team and investors, however, are only interested in an executive summary in the form of a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation. As a result, you are required to create a compelling PowerPoint presentation, supported by the details in your project plan, which convinces the executive group that your solution is optimal.
