complete the following tasks by creating the following:
1. Scope management plan( including Requirements, In scope-out scope items, Deliverables
and scope verification process) to direct your efforts. (10 marks)
2. WBS first using either the free-form or the org chart format. (20 marks)
3. Gantt chart-Take the WBS you have already developed. Define all of the activities that will be
necessary to create each deliverable in your WBS. Create a schedule for your project. First
create the schedule by hand using Post-it ® Notes, and then put the information into MS
Project. Take screenshots of the schedule to be pasted ni your word document that you are
submitting. Be sure to include all of the summary rows (including the first row for the project
title) and any key milestones. Make sure the critical path is easy to see.- 10 marks
4. Create a time-phased budget for your example project using bottom-up estimating. To the
extent your sponsor will supply rates for workers, use those. Approximate rates for ones you
cannot get. Ask your sponsor how they treat indirect costs. Be sure to include direct labour
costs for you and your team mates and add 20% for fringe. State all assumptions and
constraints you have used when creating your budget. State how confident you are in your
estimates and what would make you more confident. Give examples of known knowns and
known unknowns on your project. Tell how you have budgeted for both of them plus how you
have budgeted for unknown unknowns. (15 marks)
5. Create a risk register ( 4 risks- 3 negative and 1 positive risk)for your example project. (20
marks)
