Conveyor Belt Project

Part 1

Open the draft project charter and revise it for your sponsor's signature. Either revises the same file or use the Michael Greer template (MS Word) as your guide and the Gauchito Project Plan's Charter as an example and build your own based on the Conveyor Belt Project in the Gray & Larson text, Appendix 2. Go to Doc. Sharing to view the files containing draft charter and the draft preliminary scope statement. The Greer template and the Gauchito project plan are also there for your use.

Write a preliminary scope statement for your customer's approval. Use the Michael Greer template (MS Word) as your guide and the Gauchito Project Plan as an example. Go to Doc. Sharing to view the file containing the template and the project plan.

Part 2

Read over the Conveyor Belt Project of the Gray & Larson text. Using what you have learned from that text and the PMBOK, complete the assignment for Part 1 by developing a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) outline using either MS Project or MS Excel. Additionally answer the following questions:

What are the deliverables?

What are the tasks? The subtasks? The work packages?

Would any of the activities listed exceed 80 man hours of effort?

How do you know if you've decomposed your WBS activities far enough?

Does the information given allow for control of the project? Why or why not?

When submitting your WBS/Gantt/Network Diagram assignments, please use MS Project as one file and answer the above questions in a MS Word document. Your WBS will be from table A2.6 in the TASK NAME column of MS Project. Your Durations, Resources and Preceding Activity data from table A2.7 will be inserted into the corresponding columns in MS Project respectively. BEWARE: The Preceding Activity numbers in table A2.7 DO NOT match up exactly as the Predecessor line numbers in MS Project (EXAMPLE: Hardware Specification in table A2.7 calls for a preceding activity of line #1 or Architectural decisions.

Part 3

Read over the Conveyor Belt Project in Appendix 2 of the text. Using what you have learned from the text and the PMBOK and, using the additional information in part two of the Conveyor Belt Project (CBP), build a Definitive Cost Estimate (Micro Estimate) for the Conveyor Belt Project. Using the PMBOK (and the Gauchito Rocket Project Roll-Up Estimate) as your guide, build this Definitive Cost Estimate (Micro Estimate) on how you estimate the cost of the project. Ensure you have, as a minimum, durations that reflect task totals and match with deliverables, sub-task totals that are properly calculated and rolled up, work packages that total to sub-tasks correctly, levels of effort that reflect effort correctly, skill-sets that are totaled correctly, skill-set costs that reflect rates and man-hour totals, and the duration total matches the total of all skill-sets.
