The case analyzes the tools a manager can use to keep her project on track and manage anxiety and conflict as Adobe prepares to launch Creative Suite 3, the biggest software release in the company's 25-year history. Yvonne Murray, the protagonist, is a group agenda manager at Adobe and accountable for coordinating the incorporation of her business unit's product-Device Central-in Creative Suite 3.
Murray is copied on an email that warn the Device Central product team that Device Central may be pulled from the Creative Suite 3 advertising stuff and from the start entirely since it was in danger of missing a goal. Murray wonder if and the best way to react to the e-mail that was addressed to her Device Central co-worker, group product manager Carol Linburn.
