Question Description
SCENARIO 1You are the technical manager of a large Internet design firm (100+ employees). One of yourprimary responsibilities is to manage a team of developers. Your unit’s primary goal is to build anddeliver custom web applications and to update client websites. Due to the increase of informationdelivery via company intranets, your company has grown has grown considerably. About 8 monthsago you hired a small start-up company, MaintainU, to perform routine maintenance for clients’websites because you needed to focus more attention on the custom applications. MaintainU doesnot interact with your clients and they work as sub-contractors through your company. Your clientsare not aware of this move and for now, you and Nathan Elder, your company president, want tokeep it this way.The last several months you have had problems with MaintainU not paying attention to versiondates. They have, on several occasions, made changes requested by clients, but they also uploadedold pages to the site. Having dealt with a number of complaints, the most recent two weeks ago,you had a long conversation with Jason Hughes, the president of MaintainU, that mistakes are not2acceptable.Now, this morning, you receive an angry call from a client, Sheila Links at Gateway Industries,because an executive that was fired two months ago has been added back to the executive page.Gateway Industries was one of the first clients your firm ever signed. While the client is on thephone, the mistake is corrected, and you end up setting up a meeting for lunch next week.For the first 6 months or so, the relationship with MaintainU was great. At this point, you’reuncertain if you want to continue the relationship, but at the same time, you cannot afford tobring maintenance work back in-house. Apparently, the phone call to Jason wasn’t enough.DELIVERABLESBased on the scenario above, your deliverables will be the following documents:• document to the client, Gateway Industries• document to MaintainU• document to the president, who is a micro-manager and likes to know everything that isgoing on
