Work breakdown structure (WBS) showing discrete work tasks and grouped hierarchically that helps to organize and define the total work scope of the project

The resource histogram is a column chart that shows the number of resources assigned to the project over time. The human resource for this project consists of outside consulting firm and user representatives need for testing. The consulting firm has junior and senior testers, and the user group has workers and managers. The testing will be done by both groups for six weeks. The project time frame is as following:

Describe the different levels and types of resources required for producing each deliverable described in the assignment summary.

* After reviewing the case study and historical data that was present in the form of interview, email and newsletter; the project took another whole new life. The decision making was based largely upon the available information and initial outcomes were largely contributed to the resources mentioned earlier. The path document was found from the data and resources available in the case study. The WBS was indeed a challenge given the schedules and estimates for this project. The management of human resources especially because our project needed scheduling depending upon the developers’ availability was also another challenge. To best manage the list of individuals it was a given that the software provided was

After setting the entire project to 40% complete on Oct 1, 2008 we can see that the project is behind schedule. The schedule variance of the entire project is $ (736,599) and Schedule performance index is at 0.68, which indicates that for every $1.00 spent in the project we are only getting $0.68 worth of work done. Since we do not have actual cost data, the MS Project calculates the budget is under budget by a negligible $80.

Activity D: This activity is 75% complete with an original budget of $200,000. Costs to date are $65,000, and the project is at the beginning of Week 3 of

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a tool that is used to define the work elements of a project and identify its entire scope. It is the map of the project which identifies all elements of the project and allows managers to keep track and control of it. It is made of a hierarchy which facilitates the evaluation of cost, time and performance at all levels of the project life-cycle and organization. The structure illustrates the smaller units and allows for adaptation and quick communication if there a problems which need to be addressed. Definitions of each task should be clear and avoid overlapping in

So we will set up milestones that show deadlines the date, mean by finish a task which a milestone is a task with zero duration. We think that a milestone is most important in a log cabin project as it show important dates on the project plan and often key events, but it does not affect any of the Gantt chart calculations. Overall, the work breakdown structure (WBS) to make complex a log cabin project more management while the WBS is designed to help breakdown this project into manageable chunk that can be effectively estimated. Also a WBS helps to explain a log cabin project scope to the stakeholder, supplier and labor.

Question 1. What project selection method described in the chapter will ABI probably employ for this proposal? Answer According to the description, the project selection method is profitability of numeric model. We might see the points from the business strategy 1) Bid only on good margin products that have the potential for maintaining their margins over a long term. 2) Pursue only new products. 3) Utilize the most advanced technology in new projects. “ project champion” approach to innovation and creativity. no more than 480 employees. 4) Foster the

A work breakdown structure (WBS) will develop for this project and the WBS is based on the project charter, scope statement, and other relevant information. Gantt chart and network diagram also will be well prepared for this project. While preceding the planning stage, the resource usage cash flow report will showing the hours each person is assigned to work on each task each week. Furthermore, the probability/ impact matrix and list of prioritized risks for the project will be included in the project

Balance: In this project before assigning of the task we have discussed and identified the interest area and technical capabilities of each member to perform the task. we have enlisted the activities and made a responsibility matrix chart and traced the team members with tasks. to perform some activities we created a sub team within team, where a sub team leader was accountable of deliverables and other team members assisting sub team leader to complete the activity. We did periodic project performance review to monitor project
