Project Time Management: Case Study
Tony Prince is the project manager for the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. Team members include you, a programmer/analyst and aspiring project manager; Patrick, a network specialist; Nancy, a business analyst; and Bonnie, another programmer/analyst. Other people are supporting the project from other departments, including Yusaff from human resources and Cassandra from finance. Assume that these are the only people who can be assigned and charged to work on project activities. Recall that your schedule and cost goals are to complete the project in six months for under $200,000.
Project Time Management: Assignment (2 Tasks)
Review the WBS and Gantt chart you created previously. Propose three to five additional activities that would help you estimate resources and durations. Now, identify at least eight milestones for the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. Remember that milestones normally have no duration, so you must have tasks that will lead to completing the milestone. Add your activities and milestones to your Gantt chart, creating a new Gantt chart. Estimate the task durations and enter dependencies as appropriate. Remember that your schedule goal for the project is six months. Copy the Gantt chart and network diagram to a word document.
After your Gantt chart and network diagram, summarize how you would assign people to each
