Pretend that you are the owner of a company that performs interior painting services. You are attending a bidders conference at JWU and are being asked to create a project definition and scope statement (no more than 2 paragraphs) that describes the work to be done as part of your bid submission. The head of Johnson & Wales University facilities presents at the conference: "Thank you all for attending. I am very pleased to have these fine companies attending and submitting bids to paint all of the classrooms in Xavier Hall. The Hall has five floors and there are six classrooms on each floor that require painting. Each floor has rooms numbered f00, f01, f02, f03, f04, and f05 where the f is the floor number for example the first floor has rooms 100 - 105 respectively. The bottom floor rooms start with a G (e.g. G01). The rooms are all basically the same: 9-foot height, 40 ft x 30 ft. You will not be painting the ceilings, floors, windows, or doors. You must remove the furniture. Our custodial team will remove projectors and whiteboards. The work cannot interfere with the normal classroom schedule (7 am through 9 pm Monday through Thursday.) You must have a member of our security team present during the work. The colors to be used will match the Blue, Gold, and White from the university logo. We need you to choose high-quality durable paint that can withstand considerable contact. The front wall of each classroom shall be painted with erasable marker paint. Please provide details of your selections. The job must be completed in a six-week period corresponding to a schedule which you will set. Please describe your painting technique, space requirements, and conditions for acceptance. The scope statement, once approved, will form the basis of the contract." How could the triple constraint become skewed as a result of client requests causing this project to become in peril? How would a skewed triple constraint affect the overall quality of this project? Where could scope creep possibly sneak into the project? Give clear examples where the project stakeholders might interfere to cause scope creep. Is it possible that scope creep can be caused by a team member? In what ways could a team member affect the project requirements resulting in scope creep. Refer to your earlier research on the term "gold plating" to help you with your response
