Additional Information
A photographer from Portraits Ltd, a professional photographic company, has taken on the role of Team
Manager after taking some time to understand the requirements of the project. A contract for their services has
been set up and is being monitored by the Purchasing Manager and a Work Package has been agreed. This
contract specifies that the photographer must arrange a meeting with the Engineering Manager to establish a
schedule for the photo sessions to minimize the impact on the Engineering staff. This meeting should have
occurred by now.
The Engineering Manager was made aware of this requirement but when asked he reported that he has
received no communication from the photographer. The Project Manager has tried to call the photographer and
has had no response. The Project Manager believes there is a risk that Portraits Ltd are overbooking work and
prioritizing other clients’ work. If Portraits ltd do not deliver on schedule the project will be delayed and the
expected benefits will be reduced.
The contract is to be reviewed and Portraits Ltd reminded of their agreement.
