The goal for Project Care + is to implement a case management system to guide the Managed Care Department into the coming years. The system will provide better management of the information collected from patients. This collected information will allow better service when addressing patient needs.

The focus of this brief is to create an accurate budget for the project. Many software projects "fail to meet customers expectations or fail to deliver the software within budget," according to John McManus (para 5).

The data that we collect will help us to create our budget, "budgets are the primary tool for controlling costs," according to Allan Hamilton (2004). This is a very important piece of the puzzle that needs to be handled correctly or the project could fail. The different areas...
