Project Management Tasks Require Careful Planning And Execution.

Task 1: WBS (level 2/3) – Word doc or MS Project

You need to create level 3-4 WBS. It should have a minimum of Use the indented format and level 1 as 4 phases of project life cycle.

Task 2: Gantt chart – Firstly you need to do Activity Estimation i.e. estimate the duration of each activity and Secondly dependencies between eh activities need to be determined before you can create a schedule and MS Project builds the Gann chart. You also need to allocate resources to each activity ( 1 resource per activity)  from the table given below (PS: You do not need to use all the resources listed below, you may use the ones you need to complete your project) Gantt chart should include all the resources allocated  in this project. You should attach the MS project screen shots to prove your workings.

The Resource table to be used for allocating resources is as below

Task 3: Create a time-phased budget for your example project using bottom-up estimating. As you allocate resources to the activity your budget is being created. After you extract the Gantt chart, revisit the activity list and be sure to check direct labour costs for you and your team has been added and add 20% for fringe.

In this section, State all assumptions and constraints you have used when creating your budget. Give examples of known knowns and known unknowns (these are financial risks) on your project. Describe how you have budgeted for both of them plus how you have budgeted for unknown unknowns 

Task 4: Risk Register

Create a risk register In the form of a risk register as per the format and example below

Task5 : Quality Management Plan.

It should include a short statement that reflects your team’s philosophy or objective for ensuring that you deliver a quality system to your client.

Develop and describe 3 quality issues related to this project that your project team could implement to ensure quality

Task6: Closure checklist and project evaluation.

Develop a closure checklist that the project team will use to ensure that the project has been closed properly.

Develop a project evaluation –outline and discuss how your project’s MOV will be evaluated.

WBS in Indented Format

Following are the key assumptions that has been considered in relation to this particular project –

1. The project will be completed within 178 days where 5 working days have been considered in a week along with the 8 working hours per day.
2. The project will be completed within the assigned budget
3. There will be no margin error for the project estimation
4. All the needed materials in order to project execution will be available without incurring procurement of over headed cost.
5. The allocated cost for the daily activities will be remain same
6. The event resources will be distributed within the various activities of the project

Following are the constraints that have been identified for this particular project –

1. The budget that allocated for this project of AUD 50000
2. The allocated resources for this particular project will be available until the project finish
3. The project budget has been allocated according to the schedule time
4. The project manager added 20% fringe to the project budget.

The selected budget for this project is AUS 50000. The budget is prepared according to the project activities and required resources. The resources are also allocated according to the budget after confirming that all the resources will be available until project completion (Snyder, 2014). The project manager also followed the budget estimation technique using the tool that is demonstrating the confidence of the budget preparation accordingly.

In this project, the budgeting has been done for known knows and known unknown for this project of the building of website development for social media research center (Kerzner, 2013). The examples of known knowns on the project that have been identified are as below:

• In the project team, needed additional members in project team that may lead in increasing direct labor cost.
• Extension of the project due to changes in scope resulting into increase in project cost.
• The examples of known unknowns on the project that have been identified are as below:
• Request for changes in project scope may increase the budget.
• The resource costs may increase with time during the project.

The budgeting for the unknown unknowns have been done by adding 20% for fringe that is 10,000.00 AUD have been kept reserved in terms of resolving the issues or risks that may occur in the project (Schwalbe, 2015).

The project team had been focusing on the development of the website for the development of the operations of the Social Media Research Centre. The website development would be evaluated for the development of the effective communication in the development of the operations and formation of the smart development models in the organization. The project team had been deployed for the formation of the standard quality of the operations in the project. The project team had been deployed for forming the accurate development model for the web application development.

The three major quality issues for the project of development of the website for social media research center are,

Loop hole in budget: The major issue in the development of the social media research center is loop hole or issue in the budget (Haycock & Parry, 2014). The uneven distribution of the budget would result in forming the issues in the budget.

Design Flaws in the website: The most significant issue of the website development project is the design issues or the flaws in the designing process. The design issues would result in forming the errors of integration of the website with the processes of the organization.

Database Flaw: The flaw in the development of the database design would cause the deployment issues in the process of the social media research center (Simons, 2013). The flaw in database would cause the errors for implementing the systematic database structure of the website.

The closure checklist had been made for evaluating the aspects of the project that had been completed. A checklist for the project had been given below,
