I need a WBS, Risk Management Plan, Project Schedule and Budget,

I need a WBS, Risk Management Plan, Project Schedule and Budget, and Communication Plan. Below are the

instructions. There are instructions including in the templates. The Project charter is the imformatio that I supplied and you can probaly use it as a guide. I also attached the PMBOK guide.

Work Breakdown Structure

According to the PMBOK® Guide, “the WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team, to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.” In other words, it lists the project’s deliverables and work packages. For this week, you will create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project you selected during Week 1.

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.

Develop the Work Breakdown Structure

Your WBS should have a minimum of 100–150 line items in MS Project and be three levels deep.

Make sure to use verb-object task names (for example, “Develop software”).

Enter tasks in MS Project.

Create the predecessor relationships.

DO NOT LINK SUMMARY TASKS OR ASSIGN RESOURCES!

Deliverables:

Statement of Participation and status update

The MS Project file (.mpp) saved from the Tracking Gantt chart screen

Risk Management Plan

Remember, risk is an uncertain event or condition that can have a positive or negative impact on the project. This week, you will be identifying and analyzing your project risks and developing a risk management plan to monitor and track your project. You will evaluate each task in your project schedule to identify any risk factors associated with the execution of the deliverable. You will then add your list of risk to the risk register template in Doc Sharing. The number of risks will depend on the project deliverables in your schedule; however, 20–25 positive and 20–25 negative risks would be considered the minimum. Review the instructions on the first sheet of the template and complete your risk register in its entirety.

Deliverables:

Use the Risk Register Template spreadsheet found in Doc Sharing (there is a separate tab for each portion of the risk management plan).

Statement of Participation and status update

Project Schedule and Budget

A project plan cannot be considered complete until the resources have been assigned (including budget and cost estimate). This week, you will assign the resources required to work on your project to your scheduled tasks. In addition, you will add the cost of the resources per hour and any direct or indirect cost required for project contracts, materials, or supplies.

You will submit a two-part summary report (business professional format) of your project budget and resources, which includes the following:

Part 1: Project Budget (Cost Management)

Explain your approach to estimating the project cost (e.g., top down, bottom up, etc.) and why that method was chosen.

Create a table that shows the original budgeted cost (from the charter) and the actual budgeted cost (side by side). Include line items for labor, materials, contract, equipment, travel cost, and so on.

Compare the budget from the charter to the final budget and explain any variances that occurred from your original budgeted cost in the project charter and the current project cost (include your original estimated cost for the project).

Explain your budget contingency plan and how much is budgeted for contingency.

Part 2: Resource Management

Explain the results of your resource assignments. Did you assign enough people to the project? Were there any resources over-allocated? What approach will you take to fix any allocation problems?

Develop a plan to manage your project team and define how you will motivate your team and how you will handle team conflicts.

What structure would you select for your project: functional, weak matrix, balanced matrix, strong matrix, or pure project? Why?

Deliverables:

MS project file (.mpp) updated with resource assignments and cost

MS Word file with report of project budget and resource management

Statement of Participation and status update

Communication Plan

According to the PMBOK® Guide, “the Communications Planning process determines the information and communications needs of the stakeholders; for example, who needs what information, when they will need it, how it will be given to them, and by whom.” In other words, it lists the general communication requirements for the project. This week, you will create a simple communication plan for the execution of your project. Each team will need to complete the Communications Plan found in Doc Sharing.

Deliverables:
