Sarah is leading a project to implement an online benefits management portal to enable employees to have a “one stop” location to view their health and dental benefits, get answers to benefits-related questions, and enable for changes to be made to health benefit coverage. The requirements were gathered over a two weeks’ time at the start of the project. The project is near completion – the portal has been developed by the IT/Application Development group. It has been tested and will be rolled out early next week. Sarah was approached by a member of the senior management team who suggests that it would be of value to add in a component to enable employees to manage their system. Sarah have had such an experience with this senior management team in the past. Specifically, she was asked for additional scope for projects at the last minute and has been insistent about getting all needed requirements for this portal, regardless of the cost. In nearly each situation, the project was not successful, and Sarah had to justify the failure of the project. Based on the case, evaluate what could the Board, as a stakeholder, expect on the results of the project of Sara?
