Drone Case Study Project Initiation Document

Wilmont’s is a fictional top‐ranked U.K. retail pharmacy company based in Milton Keynes with more than 1,000 stores nationwide and employing more than 4,000 people overall.  The company has engaged in several innovative business practices, and now they are once again secretly considering breaking ground with an even newer concept—delivering prescriptions and drugstore items by flying drone.

The concept is not new—a small firm named DroneTech in Cambridge announced the approach in March, and they are looking to develop a relationship with pharmacies nationwide to launch the concept for real. Wilmont’s may be the big break they are looking for! 

Your group is the project team for Wilmont’s internal IT department, and you have all been assigned by your CIO, James Connor, to lead this project in terms of the information systems that will be needed to support the initiative. Phillip Greenberg is the project manager at DroneTech who will work with you.

Your project team must create a project initiation document for James Conner, the CIO, for sign off and approval before the project can begin.
