Subject – Developing the project implementation plan
Hello,
As an experienced member of the marketing team, you have been selected to BizOps project implementation plan. A member of your team has come up with the idea to develop an online shopping app to enable tablet and smart phone users to place orders more easily than using the regular e-commerce site. Results from the testing and trailing of the prototype have been positive. It is anticipated that there will be a marked increase in online orders with the availability of this app.
There are detailed instructions for what is required in the ‘instructions to the student’ section that follows. You will find the links to additional organisational documents that you need in the ‘resourced required’ section.
I look forward to seeing your plan as I feel this idea has considerable merit.
Regards,
Liz Hitchens
Marketing Manager
