6. ARIBA IMPLEMENTATION IN MED-X case  What can you conclude by looking at the combined earned value data for the project? - Combined earned value is not a good indication of the individual work streams status.  Why did Terry Baker think that the project was going according to plan the entire time? - Gantt Chart did not show which component of the project was causing the delay. - Gantt Chart was not detailed enough and did not have enough sub- tasks. - Terry was not paying attention to how each individual tasks were progressing, but rather was looking from a higher level. - Overall project looked like it was on time (overperformance on technical side/underperformance on software side).

7. ARIBA IMPLEMENTATION IN MED-X case 7  How much longer will the project take? (it is September now) - One additional month beyond the estimated completion date (November).  What should Martin have done earlier in the project timeline to prevent delays? - Earned Value Analysis. - Identify underperformed work stream.  What should Martin do when managing future projects to prevent similar problems from developing? - Have a more granular work breakdown structure. - Implement earned value into early stages of the project.
