Business Case for L.A. River Demographic Map Date: 9/24/13 Prepared by: Minda Greenberg and Anabel Serrano
1.0 Introduction/ Background: Analyze population demographics such as Ethnicity, Household Income, and Education Levels as they are presented within a 1 mile buffer of the Los Angeles River. To our understanding the communities surrounding the river, since its cementation in the early 20th century, have been characterized as disadvantaged and an unpleasant location to reside. 2.0 Business Objective: To visually expose the truth behind our understanding of the communities. Based on our results we hope to initiate programs that will help bring the necessary resources to the communities in need. 3.0 Current Situation and Problem/Opportunity Statement: Investigation pending. 4.0 Critical Assumption and Constraints: We are assuming the following will be our constraints: Time, funds, availability of geographic and demographic data, access to the river, and minimal knowledge on target area. 5.0 Analysis of Option and Recommendation: 6.0 Preliminary Project Requirements: Project work schedule, Base maps, census tract data, ArcGIS program access, Tour of river 7.0 Budget Estimate and Financial Analysis: Time estimate- 1.5 2 hours/ weekly. Financial Analysis: $10 for Tour of river, gas money- $20, parking fees- $15, food and refreshments- $20 8.0 Schedule Estimate- Tuesday nights 7:30-9pm approx. 9.0 Potential Risks- over exertion of the mind, loss of time management on other projects, miscommunication, car accident en route to the Tour 10.0 Exhibits Exhibit A: Financial Analysis

SUMMARY
An analysis in the form of a map of population demographics such as Ethnicity, Household Income, and Education Levels as they are presented within a 1 mile buffer of the Los Angeles River.
To our understanding the communities surrounding the river, since its cementation in the early 20th century, have been characterized as disadvantaged and an unpleasant location to reside.
The objective of this project is to visually expose the truth behind our understanding of the communities. Based on our results we hope to initiate programs that will help bring the necessary resources to the communities in need.

1. Did the project meet scope, time, and cost goals? The project met scope but ran behind on time and went over on cost. 2. What was the success criteria listed in the project scope statement?
In order to be successful with this project, the team must have a final map displaying comprehensive results showing demographic statistics within census tracts surrounding the LA River. Team must work together in a timely manner and use proper communication skills. Deliverables must be submitted on time and signed off by all stakeholders accordingly. Budget has minimal flexibility, thus success depends on staying within budget limits.
3. Reflect on whether or not you met the project success criteria. To some degree we were successful in that we created all of the final deliverables on time. However, throughout the project we did run into time management problems and went over our desired budget.
4. In terms of managing the project, what were the main lessons your team learned? The main lesson our team learned was that filling out the proper reports at the proper time
