CMGT 410 Week 4 Individual Project Controls
The company offsite 2-day training session project is about ready to enter the execution phase. However, management has a history of being surprised with projects that finished over-budget, did not adhere to the timeline, evinced waste of resources, or did not meet expectations.
Address your strategy for the following in a 2- to 3-page memo to gain their confidence in your project management abilities:
• Analyze and report unplanned changes
• Evaluate project quality
• Procedures you plan to implement for handling change control issues
• How you plan to communicate whether the project is meeting any stated performance and quality objectives
Learning Team Project Costing
The allocation and cost of resources need to be carefully monitored if a project is to be delivered on-time and on-budget.
At a minimum this section will contain the following:
• Allocation of resources to project tasks (both labor and material)
• Cost estimates for project resources
• Gantt diagram showing duration estimates for all tasks and their sequencing (including precedence relations) and highlighting any critical path(s) arising from task dependencies ultimately determining the minimal duration of a project
In addition summarize any relevant facts about the project duration, number or type of resources, critical task sequencing, or how duration estimates were arrived at, and any financial implications (for example, budget or cost reports of the project as well)
• Develop a baseline for your project plan so that all future variances are captured. Write 3 to 4 pages on your findings
