Instructions

The file mid_case_study.pdf contains the description of the business. Use the word document

“mid_project.docx” as a template. This came from a much larger, more complete project charter

document, so all portions may not apply. The text on the project template is there to help you.

Replace the existing text with your own.

I am looking for sections:

1) background

2) scope

3) Project Work Break down structure.

Case Study

Becky’s Bakery is a small business that specializes in cakes (wedding, birthday, etc), pies, doughnuts and

other confections. Some items are kept “in stock” in a display at the front of the store so customers can

purchase what they want and take it right then, or customers can order cakes and other items for

special events; to be delivered or picked up at a later date.

Currently when an order is placed, it is written on paper and stored in a filing cabinet by date. Each day,

the bakers go through the folders looking for what needs to be baked for the next day. They pull those

orders and take them to the kitchen. There, they look-up each recipe they need, get the ingredients

necessary and proceed to bake the items.

Once an item is baked, it is sent to the decorators (if it needs to be decorated) or to packers who box the

items. When all items for an order have been completed, the order is given to a delivery driver who

loads them into a truck in order of the destinations and who then delivers them. The driver gets a

signature from a responsible party noting that the items have been delivered. They then return to the

bakery and file the signed order as complete.

Becky’s Bakery would like to replace their paper system with an electronic one. They not only want to

reduce paper, but want to be able to have automatic inventory, pricing and reporting.

It is possible that not all of the information you need will be contained in this narrative. If you need to,

make reasonable assumptions and list them as an appendix in your documentation. You may also, of

course, ask your instructor any questions during class, by email or during office hours.

You are to submit the following in the accompanying mid_project.docx template:

• Background statement

• project scope statement

• WBS

You may use any resource you wish to complete this, but what you submit must be your own work! This

is NOT a group project!
