Procurement Platform Deployment Project Manager Simulation

Coordinate three vendors — Accenture, Coupa Professional Services, and Infosys — who were hired independently with misaligned contracts, incompatible timelines, and zero coordination mechanisms. Shell's $16M Coupa procurement platform deployment has stalled because nobody thought to align the SOWs. Your job is to build a governance model where none exists, resolve integration failures between Coupa and SAP S/4HANA, migrate 50,000+ supplier records with 23% data quality failures, and deliver a unified P2P platform to 40,000 users — all while three vendors point fingers at each other.

Vendor RFP / Sourcing Project Manager Simulation

Run the competitive RFP that puts Spotify's owned podcast network — 140 shows spread across four hosting platforms and $3.1M a year of duplicated spend — onto a single provider. You have 14 weeks, $800K, and no requirements document. The scoring model is the straightforward part; getting opinionated producers to sign the requirements before bids open, and to accept a winner that may not be their incumbent, is the actual project.
