Assessment Details:
Continue working on the selected project case, this assessment is designed to assess your technical skills in planning and communicating a project effectively. You required to continue working with your group on the selected project and develop and write schedule management plan that includes identify processes, tools and techniques to be used and document to be developed as per your client’s requirements, define activities (activity list, proper activity logic, activities identification), milestones list, activities sequence, relationships (F_S, S_S, S_F, F_F), Lags, leading times, project network and critical path(s), estimating activity duration (basics of estimation, durations, resources estimation and allocation), identifying roles and responsibilities in scheduling, and monitoring and controlling schedule (EVA relevant to project schedule) Just description of the methods and tools. Using your MS project skills, you are required to develop MS project report of schedule plan, and resources plan (sheet and allocation for each activity) and develop schedule baseline. You also require to develop andwrite project cost management plan that includes: plan cost management (identify processes, tools and techniques to be used and project documents to be developed as per your client’s requirements), define cost elements (labour, material, variable cost), identify types of cost (direct, indirect, fixed, variable), determine the estimating method (s): (top-down, bottom-up), use estimating techniques (analogous, parametric, three-point method) to estimate budget (creation): establish time-phased budget, provide a discussion on monitoring and controlling cost (EVA relevant to project cost including forecasting and variances), and establish a cost baseline.
For successful completion of this assessment, you should meet with your group regularly (at least once a week face to face or via Zoom meeting). you require to study the material provided (lecture slides, tutorials, and reading materials), engage in the unit’s activities, and in the discussion forums. The prescribed textbook is the main reference along with the recommended reading material. Groups expected to discuss their work with lecturer and to seek support.
