Objectives
This Course Project will provide you with practical experience in applying the skills, tools, and methodologies contained in the coursework for PROJ592. You will be generating a detailed project plan, including a project scope statement, work breakdown structure, schedule, cost estimates, and corrective action plans. In Part 1 (CP-1), you will select a project that requires sufficient detail to demonstrate your understanding of course concepts and provide a scope statement and WBS for this project. In Part 2 (CP-2), you will be provided other details for a new project. In Part 3 (CP-3), you will create corrective actions plans for a project.
The Course Project requires modest use of Microsoft Project software that is available from the Student Software Store under Course Home. You may use either the 2010 or the 2013 version of MS Project--the differences are minor and do not impact the assignment. See also the Project Management Highlight Videos and tutorials rom the Student Resources tab to help you with the Course Project assignment
Course Project Part 2—Due Week 4
In project Part 2, we create a schedule and accurate budget for your project. You need to focus on detailed cost estimating, scheduling, and cost justification. Estimating includes specific assumptions made during the estimating process, as well as quantities, unit prices, hourly rates for tasks, and accumulated totals. You must justify all of your costs; this includes direct, indirect, variable, fixed, and overhead.
The CP-2 Project Proposal will be structured with the following sections.
•Cover page including assignment, project title, course, and student contact information
•Executive summary summarizing the content from the entire document with quantifiable highlights, such as overall cost, duration, and so on
•Project scope statement describing the project
•Resource loaded WBS and schedule with proper grouping, indenting, and coding for approximately 25 to 40 line items. This also needs to include a work package, deliverables, and activities, activity relationships, activity durations, and activity resources.
•Cost estimates for each activity. Capital cost estimates should include building, franchise fees, equipment, and so on, if required for your project.
•Cost assumptions including a list of assumptions made when deriving your estimates
NOTE: Each section should include the detail as described above, along with a proper discussion about the included data as well as the project manager's analysis and interpretation of the information.
Submission Requirements
•The assignment should be submitted as two files: one MS Word file for the scope statement and documentation except for the WBS; and one MS Project file containing the project WBS, schedule, resource loading, and budget information.
•CP-2 must include a cover page.
•As a guide, the body of CP-2 should be between five and 10 pages in length (i.e., not including cover page, appendix, and MS Project file).
•Submit the Word document to the Week 4:
