Introduction There is an old adage which insists “time is money.” While simple, in concept, it has been proven true, in fact. In a global, technologically driven society, however, the very idea of time has changed.

Working behind the scenes, as it were, are the IT companies that make the realization of this freedom and peace of mind possible. In the scenario with Fiction Corporation, it is quite evident that the role of IT is paramount to the success of the business, in general, and to the company’s decision to- move, in particular. Big-Proj will receive the “big break” for which it is looking by ensuring compliance with the goals set forth in regards to the scope of the project, the timeline projections, and the budgetary requirement of $500,000.00.
Initiate the project: The initiation phase begins with the development of the business case. Fiction Corporation had already developed the business and made to a decision to take on the relocation project prior to hiring Big-Proj to execute the transition to the new location. Nigel Cleveland, Project Manager, has established project charter. As part of the project charter, Nigel has identified the purpose and objectives of the project. He has worked with Fiction Corporation as to the agreed upon scope. Nigel has developed the project deliverables in a scope statement,
