Please provide reference to the question below

To develop a schedule for a project, we will use the concept

of a project network, which shows work activities taken from the work breakdown structure and is organized according to the logical flow in time and relationships governing when the work will be performed. By combining this network of work activities with estimates of the time duration for performing each of the activities, we can create a schedule for the project work. What types of information can we learn about the project by reviewing the project schedule and all the information used to generate it?

As we have seen, traditional and Agile schedule developments are quite

different. Agile project management was originally developed to do software development. Could a traditional process be successfully used to develop a new software program? Why or why not? Could an Agile methodology be used to build a strip mall in your home town? Why or why not?

We are a local carpenter company known as WindRight, and we have been contacted by local farmers to,

refurbish a total of 3 medium tool sheds. This project is projected to take about 1-2 weeks, and requires us to reconstruct everything from the foundation (wood floor), to the new shelves they want constructed inside. WindRight has set a budget of around 10 thousand dollars, which will include the cost of purchasing new wood and some extra expenses. Material is predicted to be about 2.5 thousand which includes the wood, hardware (nails), and shingles. We must outsource the repairing of roof shingles to the local roofing company, and be ready to outsource some extra help from the local job offices. After we have meet most of these needs, we must schedule the order in which we will refurbish the sheds, and how long we will take to get them to the farmer’s liking.

What is needed to make this project functional in terms of equipment, computers, cash registers, and so forth? What functionality must it have? In our example, there would be specific types of hardware required, such as 2 HP Proliant DL580 G7 high performance servers are needed for the application software program execution and database storage. This section should be three to five pages, depending on the project you selected.

The project is a Construction Co. – Mayberry Community Park Renovation See question below, please provide a list

of some boundaries and exclusions

What are the boundaries of the project? What is not going to be included in the project? This helps the project manager to set boundaries on the project scope. For example, on our software development project, we might exclude some specific functionality on the program. Let’s say Internet access for credit card payments will not be included in the programming for this project. You should have at least 10–15 exclusions.

Please answer question below, provide reference

Assume you have just been assigned to a project risk team

composed of five members. Your task, as project manager, is to develop a process for handling risks to the project. Because this is the first time your organization has formally set up a risk team for a project, it is hoped that your team will develop a process that can be used on all future projects. Your first team meeting is next Monday morning. Each team member has been asked to prepare for the meeting by developing, in as much detail as possible, an outline that describes how you believe the team should proceed in handling project risks. Each team member will hand out his or her proposed outline at the beginning of the meeting. Your outline should include, but not be limited to, the following information:

Work Breakdown Structure for project Updating Accounting Software for a growing small business*

Remember that the WBS starts with your major deliverables (that you stated in your scope management plan) at the highest level. The lower levels have the work package required to complete those deliverables. Review the textbook (and the PMBOK® Guide, if you have it) for some suggestions on how to create a WBS. From your work breakdown structure, develop a project task list with dependencies and add durations, using MS Project.

Read Case Study 12.1: The Problems of Multitasking. Answer the following questions

/in /by

Read Case Study 12.1: The Problems of Multitasking. Answer the following questions:

Case Study 12.1:The Problems of MultitaskingAn eastern U.S. financial services company found itself way behind schedule and overbudget on an important strategic program. Both the budget and schedule baselines hadbegun slipping almost from the beginning, and as the project progressed, the lags becamesevere enough to require the company to call in expert help in the form of a projectmanagement consulting firm. After investigating the organization’s operations, theconsulting firm determined that the primary source of problems both with this project inparticular and the company’s project management practices in general was a serious failureto accurately forecast resource requirements. In the words of one of the consultants, “Notenough full-time [human] resources had been dedicated to the program.”The biggest problem was the fact that too many of the project team members were workingon two or more projects simultaneously—a clear example of multitasking. Unfortunately,the program’s leaders developed their ambitious schedule without reflecting on theavailability of resources to support the project milestones. With their excessive outsideresponsibilities, no one was willing to take direct ownership of their work on the program,people were juggling assignments, and everyone was getting farther behind in all the work.Again, in the words of the consultant, “Project issues would come up and there would benobody there to handle them [in a timely fashion].” Those little issues, left unattended,eventually grew to become big problems. The schedule continued to lag, and employeemorale began to bottom out.Following their recognition of the problem, the first step made by the consultants was toget top management to renegotiate the work assignments with the project team. First, thecore team members were freed from other responsibilities so they could devote their full-time attention to the program. Then, other support members of the project were releasedfrom multitasking duties and assigned to the project on a full-time or near full-time basis aswell. The result, coupled with other suggested changes by the consultants, was to finallymatch up the project’s schedule and activity duration estimates with a realisticunderstanding of resources needs and availability. In short, the program was put back ontrack because it was finally resource-leveled, particularly through creating full-time workassignments for the project team that accurately reflected the need to link resourcemanagement with scheduling.12(Pinto 405-406)Pinto, Jeffery K.Project Management: Achieving Competitive Advantage,3rd Edition.
