Starting Budget: $1,000,000
Starting Team: 4 people: 1 programmer (full-time), 1 lawyer, 1 VP of Operations. And you, the PMO lead.
1) We choose an AI Model area:
a) Risks, b) Finance, c) Schedule / Resourcing, d) Reporting / Communication
2) Background: You are an AT&T PMO. Shutdowns longer than 5 seconds are anathema and destroy reputation. You need to predict and prevent failures using excellent dashboards. CEO gave you $1 Million but you must show results in 8 months or your team will lose 50% of your budget next year.
3) Choices: democratically, choose your next step and spend:
i) Give 75% of the budget to the programmer to develop a reporting model. Give 25% to the lawyer for reviews.
ii) Give 75% to programmers, and 25% to VP of OPS to make a dashboard model project. Meet all of them weekly to review. Ask the lawyer to attend weekly meetings.
iii) Use 50% of the budget for an Enterprise AI (like ChatGPT, IBM, or Co-pilot). Give the other half of your budget to the lawyer and VP of operations to review laws and deliverables.
Risks:
i) Lose (-$800K) by: Major schedule delay. Data Breach.
ii) Lose (-$800K) by: Major schedule delay. Legal Concern.
iii) Lose (-$800K) by: Data breach. Technical breakdown.
