Consider The Given Case And Prepare The Followings

1. Consider the given case and prepare the following:

  • Q1: Work breakdown structure (can use MS Word insert table)
  • Q2: Gantt Chart (you can use MS Excel)
  • Q3: PERT chart that shows the project (you can use MS Word or Draw.io)
  • Q4: Show the critical Path

2. Your answers should be related to the given case. They cannot be generic and should not include unrelated content or just definitions of concepts.

Paper For Above instruction

Developing a comprehensive project plan requires a structured approach that accurately reflects the specific case at hand. This involves creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) that breaks down the project into manageable tasks, a Gantt Chart for scheduling these tasks over time, a PERT chart to visualize task dependencies and estimate project duration including slack time, and identifying the critical path that determines the project’s minimum completion time. For the case in question, the WBS should include all relevant tasks with clear duration estimates, which will then inform the Gantt Chart placement. The PERT chart should incorporate slack time, including the one-day slack for preparing and delivering printed handouts, as specified. The critical path will be the sequence of tasks that have zero slack, ensuring the project’s timely completion. Accurate development of these tools based on the case details will facilitate effective project management and timely execution.

Additional Project Management Tasks

Furthermore, the assignment involves creating detailed task lists with durations, visualizing the entire project through diagrams, and analyzing the sequence of activities to determine the critical path. These tools not only aid in scheduling but also provide clarity on task dependencies and resource allocation. Including slack time strategically manages uncertainties, especially for preparatory tasks like printing handouts. Proper documentation of all diagrams with the project owner’s name enhances accountability and traceability. Once completed, all components should be compiled into a Word document for submission, illustrating a thorough understanding of project management principles specific to the case provided.

Note

Ensure that your diagrams reflect the specific case details, and integrate the provided Slack time into your scheduling tools to demonstrate your ability to manage project uncertainties effectively.
