  1. Add content to the WBS created in Week 4. Use Microsoft Project to add dependencies, between tasks to the WBS for the BMOS project. The following video might be helpful for adding dependencies https://youtu.be/hbvKEi0JG58.
  1. Add durations to each task. The entire project should span six months. Make sure that in the Task Mode column, the mode for each task is “Auto Scheduled.” All dates should automatically populate according to the project start date and task dependencies. Verify that durations make sense. Task durations may be changed by adding or removing days in the “Duration” column.
  1. Assign resources to each task. Click on the “Resource” tab, then Assign Resources. Place the resources needed to perform each task on the list. Use the organization charts. HiFive has a requirements analyst for requirements gathering, a software architect for design, a software developer for systems specification, a test team for testing, and software developers for coding and unit test, and software release. Berta’s Pizza will perform acceptance testing.

Many restaurants in the city offer efficient carryout and delivery mobile/online ordering. Berta’s does not have an online ordering system. Customers cannot order from Berta’s menu via a mobile device or from Berta’s website. Customers must call Berta’s to order delivery or carryout. The current takeout/delivery order process is inefficient and negatively impacts Berta’s current and future revenue goals. 2.0 Business Objective Berta’s strategic goals are to increase customer loyalty, brand recognition, and revenue. The Berta’s mobile/online ordering system (BMOS) project will support these goals by facilitating food orders from mobile devices, and from the Berta’s Pizza website. A mobile/online ordering system will allow Berta’s to compete in the food carryout and delivery market. 3.0 Current Situation and Problem/Opportunity Statement Berta’s Pizza has five Lawrence locations, downtown, in the north-east, north-west, south-east, and south-west areas of the city. Berta’s current carry-out and delivery order process is inefficient. Customers may order pizza delivery from a Berta’s location that is further away than the Berta’s Pizza closest to the customer. The phone ordering process places customers on-hold until a current order has been taken. Ordering over the phone places the burden of order mistakes on the order takers. Customer loyalty has diminished since other pizza shops began offering mobile and online takeout and delivery orders. Additionally, revenue has decreased. The addition of a mobile/online ordering system will enable all orders to come into one system. The system can determine which Berta’s Pizza would be appropriate to fulfil the delivery orders based on the customer’s location, the status of the Berta’s locations, and the customer’s order. Customers will be able to order Berta’s menu option at will through mobile, or stationary devices. Customers will be able to register and create an account on Berta’s website and receive promotional offers. 4.0 Critical Assumptions and Constraints Berta’s mobile and online ordering capabilities must be available before the annual convention starting next year in July. Instead of building two applications, a mobile app, and a web app, only one web-based, device-responsive system is developed. The system must host 100 concurrent customers, and have data backup and automatic system recovery capabilities. The system must have security and access levels for customers, and Berta’s internal staff. Customer personally identifiable information (PII), and credit card information must be encrypted during transmission and while stored in Berta’s databases. A team from Hi Five Software will develop Berta’s online ordering system. The system must be hosted on the existing servers that host Berta’s current website. A project manager must manage this project. 2 5.0 Analysis of Options and Recommendation There are three options to consider: 1. Do nothing. Berta’s takeout and delivery comprise almost 80% of sales. We must facilitate ordering for these customers, and engender customer loyalty by offering promotions to customers who register on the website. 2. Purchase access to new servers to support this new capability, with Hi Five Software as developers and a project manager. 3. Use existing servers to support this new capability, with Hi Five Software as developers and a project manager. After consideration by stakeholders, option three was chosen. 6.0 Preliminary Project Requirements Description: Takeout and delivery customers may register to use the Berta’s Pizza website. Or, customers may order from the site without registering. Customers may choose multiple items from Berta’s menu for delivery or carryout. Customers can pay for their orders by the methods described in the requirements document (cash, credit, debit, and PayPal). Different website user roles will define a user’s level of website accessibility. Roles may be assigned to customers, Berta’s staff, website developers, and others. The order system will assign orders to Berta’s locations. An order will display on the takeout/delivery order web page at the Berta’s location assigned to fulfill the order. Internal users, on Berta’s staff, will have an accessibility role needed to update the menu. Another role will update orders as completed or canceled. 7.0 Budget Estimate and Financial Analysis A preliminary budget of $150,000 has is estimated for this project. This estimate is based on a project manager working 15 hours per week for six months, and software developers working 60 hours (2 developers, 30 hours each) for six months. The customer representatives from Berta’s Pizza will not be paid from the project budget. The hourly rate of the project manager is $55, and the hourly rate of the developers is $75. After project completion, a maintenance cost of 35,000 for the first year is included in the estimate. The projected benefits are established by an increase in takeout and delivery orders. More customer loyalty and satisfaction. A projected 30% increase in takeout and delivery orders translates to a 24% increase in orders and revenue. After one year, a $57,000 revenue increase per pizza shop is projected. Totaling $288,000 per year increased revenue, after one year. Exhibit A depicts the projected costs, benefits, estimated net present value (NPV), return on investment (ROI), and the year that payback occurs. The NPV is $502,740, based on a three-year projection. The discounted ROI is 209 percent. Exhibit A BMOS Financial Analysis 3 8.0 Schedule Estimate Berta’s Pizza expects the project to be completed before the annual convention in July next year. The size and complexity of the project indicate a six-month duration. 9.0 Potential Risks The main risk is the customers not using the mobile and online system for carryout and delivery orders. To mitigate this risk, Berta’s informs each customer who orders takeout or delivery by phone, of the mobile/online order system. Business risks are no increase in or lower customer loyalty and satisfaction, and no increase in or lower revenue. To mitigate these risks, the mobile and online ordering system is user-friendly, intuitive and easy to use, and defect free. 10.0 Exhibits Exhibit A: Financial Analysis for BMOS Project Berta’s Pizza Business Case Running head: BERTA’S MOBILE AND ONLINE ORDERING BERTA’S MOBILE AND ONLINE ORDERING Frances Hall Grantham University March 20, 2017 1 Running head: BERTA’S MOBILE AND ONLINE ORDERING 2 Berta’s Mobile and Online Ordering Work Breakdown Structure Project Requirements Berta’s Pizza contains five positions in the town of Lawrence. Numerous cafeterias in the town offer effective takeaways and supply mobile/online collection. Berta’s Pizza have no online system of ordering. Clients cannot request from Berta’s list of options through a mobile means or from Berta’s site. Clients call Berta’s to request delivery or takeaways. The present takeout order procedure is incompetent and adversely influences Berta’s present and forthcoming revenue objectives. Design The identified procedures require capitals such as persons, funding, software and computing tools among others to be gathered. As such, increasing the system for Berta’s will need the necessities described in the assumption segments below. System Specifications The online system will host 100 simultaneous clients, and have information backup and spontaneous system retrieval abilities. The system will have safety and admission levels for clients, and Berta’s inner staff. Client personally identifiable information (PII), plus credit card information should be encoded during program and when kept in Berta’s files. A squad from Hi Five Software shall create Berta’s virtual ordering system. The program must be held on the prevailing servers that horde Berta’s existing website. A project supervisor must oversee this project.
