Contemporary Project Management - Kloppenborg

Family Disney World Vacation Scope Overview

This project will help the Jones Family a family of 5 go to Disney World by the summer of 2017. The funds will be gathered between all family members since all have jobs. The goal is to fly to Orlando, stay at the Shades of Green, eat at least two full meals a day, see all the parks in 7 days and come home with souvenirs and great memories. The reason for the project is because previously 2 family members didn't schedule properly with their work and 3 didn't give the requested amount of money at certain due dates.
