Short Story Analysis

Post has three assignments

1: Project Scope Management
Congratulations! You have been selected as the project manager for the EduSmart Project. The company s CIO, Mark, is the project sponsor, and Ito is the program manager for the larger Educational Engineering Program that this project is part of. Now you need to put together your project team and get to work on this high-visibility project.

You will work with Mark to hand-pick your team. Mark had already worked with the HR department to advertise these openings internally as well as outside the company. Mark had also used his personal contacts to let people know about this important project. In addition, you are encouraged to use outside consultants and other resources, as appropriate. Initial estimates suggest that about $300,000 budgeted for this project will go to internal staffing and the rest to outside sources. The main project millstones you ll produce will be a building structure and a system for each green school application and technology listed earlier plus. Mark thought some type of decision support model would make sense to help collect and analyze the project ideas. You are expected to tap into resources available from the Environmental Engineering Program, but you will need to include some of those resources in your project budget. Mark mentioned that he knew there had already been some projects done similar to the new project. Mark also showed you examples of what he considered to be good smart school project.

Tasks
1. Document requirements for your project so far, including a requirements traceability matrix. Use the template provided (reqs_matrix.xls). Also include a list of questions you would like to ask the sponsor about the scope.

2. Develop a scope statement for the project using the template provided (scope_statement.doc). Be as specific as possible in describing product characteristics and deliverables. Make assumptions as needed, assuming you got answers to the questions you had in Task 1.

3. Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project. Break down the work to level 3 or level 4, as appropriate. Use the template on the companion Web site (wbs.doc) and samples in the text as guides. Print the WBS in list form as a Word file. Be sure to base your WBS on the project scope statement, stakeholder requirements, and other relevant information. Remember to include the work involved in selecting the rest of your project team and outside resources as well as coordinating with the Environmental Engineering Program. Use the project management process groups as level 2 WBS items or include project management as a level 2 WBS item to make sure you include work related to managing the project.

4. Use the WBS you developed in Task 3 above to create a Gantt chart for the project in Microsoft Project. Use the outline numbering feature to display the outline numbers (click Tools on the menu bar, click Options, and then click Show outline number). Do not enter any durations or dependencies. Print the resulting Gantt chart on one page, being sure to display the entire Task Name column.
