IT Implementation Management Plan

This project will center on JKT and Associates, a large law firm specializing in insurance claims. JKT recently contracted to outsource much of its administrative legal work to Comproc, a supplier specializing in managing claims work and litigation documentation. As a result, 100 Comproc workers will move into JKT headquarters in three months.

The Comproc workers will use JKT software to access JKT's legal data on JKT servers. Comproc workers will also need to connect to servers at Comproc headquarters from JKT in order to access their Comproc email and their claims processing applications.

As the project manager, I will be responsible for completing the on boarding of the Comproc workers within three months. The executive sponsoring the project is Morgan W. Callier, chief counsel at JKT. The JKT technician responsible for application testing is Jim Waxman. The Comproc manager you will work with directly is Joy Callahan. The Comproc workers will be accountable to JKT operations manager Tim Little.

The tasks that follow will make up the final project. Each task number will be identified at the beginning of the task so it can be clearly identified. Task #4 will be omitted per directions from the instructor.
