Unit 3 Assignment: Case Analysis
You will review a case and research the use of programs and portfolios with projects and provide your recommended course of action. Your company, Space Systems Technologies (SST), has the mission of assembling commercial and military launch vehicles. SST does no fabrication, it simply provides customers specialized assembly expertise, brings the prefabricated parts of the expendable launch vehicle together, and though an assembly process delivers a completed launch vehicle to the launch facility to be mated with the propulsion system prior to launch. SST Corporation assembles many different launch vehicles for various customers who design and launch the cargo launch (payload rockets) vehicles but lack the necessary facilities and expertise in rocket assembly.
SST is submitting a proposal in response to the Ansari X-Prize Competition as a sub-contractor to Scaled Composites. SST will assemble the different competitor rockets and ship to Scaled Composites who will conduct engine mating, launch, and test data collection.
Your vice president for engineering has to decide whether to incorporate these X-Prize rocket assembly projects into the existing program of launch vehicle assembly or, have a separate program or, consolidate the effort into a project portfolio. You have been asked to research the use of programs and portfolios with projects and provide your recommended course of action. Consider the advantages\/disadvantages of:
\u00e2\u2014\u008f Incorporating the X-Prize vehicles into the existing program of launch vehicle assembly<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2014\u008f Establishing the X-Prize vehicles into a standalone program or,<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2014\u008f Establishing a portfolio of X-Prize vehicles Your paper will provide a short understanding of the situation and problem as it pertains to the mission of Space Systems Technologies, an analysis of each of the options with cited references, a synthesized recommended course of action, and the evaluation of that conclusion from a source reference not already used in your analysis of the problem.
Please go to the X-Prize website for further information on the X-Prize Competition. Be sure to focus only on the cargo launch (payload rockets) vehicles that are part of this competition.
