2. Salt Lake Olympics Given that they had no knowledge transfer from previous Olympics, how do you think they came up with tasks and time/resource estimates – Identified the main functions that were required to be done – One experienced resource per job function – Knowledge gathering sessions with the experienced members How would you have done this? – Project Managers who have prior experience managing smaller scale sporting events – Any publicly available documentation – Use help from previous sponsors and their staff

3. Salt Lake Olympics Why did they switch to Venue Based planning from Function based planning? – Acquire the knowledge base for each job functions – Changed the model to Venue based in order to get the specific traning and knowledge from each of the individual functions – Run day long venue simulations – Concentrate the functional knowledge into specific Venues.

4. Salt Lake Olympics Do a mock Table Top for any one incident from each Tier of Exhibit 9 (3 in total). What action/responses would you recommend for each? What would be the implication for SLOC – venue design, roads, staffing, EMT, athletes, etc. IncidentAction/ResponseImplication to SLOC External breaches of IT network Restricted access based on position Do test simulations for breaches Keep confidential information off-line Increased costs because of equipments, technology and manpower resouces

5. Salt Lake Olympics Do a mock Table Top for any one incident from each Tier of Exhibit 9 (3 in total). What action/responses would you recommend for each? What would be the implication for SLOC – venue design, roads, staffing, EMT, athletes, etc. IncidentAction/ResponseImplication to SLOC Significant Staff shortfalls Group the training so that it can be applicable for multiple events Cross-training the volunteers Universal definitions of tasks Clear guidelines for backup Standard work documents Paid backup staff Increased costs for training and additional staffing

6. Salt Lake Olympics Do a mock Table Top for any one incident from each Tier of Exhibit 9 (3 in total). What action/responses would you recommend for each? What would be the implication for SLOC – venue design, roads, staffing, EMT, athletes, etc. IncidentAction/ResponseImplication to SLOC Abandoned vehicle in critical location  Restricted access to non- event vehicles  Locate parking lots away from the venue with shuttle service  Car tags to identify vehicles  Tow-trucks on hand  Strict visual controls  24/7 Bomb squad availability Increased costs for shuttles Clear identification for tracking of vehicles Designated location for tow-away vehicles Increased security costs

7. Salt Lake Olympics What is the most important lesson you can apply from this case in YOUR project (give a specific example from work)? – Structured, well documented plan and design Neopost: With RAD (Rapid Application deployment), there has been not much planning which is hurting the application/functionality and user adoption
