PROJECT QUESTIONS & TASKS

1. Provide a project objective associated with the Astin Martin Electronics project. Include a list of assumptions about the project.

JBB software will provide all the planned deliverables that meet all the requirements as stated in the Statement of Work to Astin Martin Electronics. JBB software will provide all required deliverables in a quality manner within the agreed contract budget and schedule.

A list of assumptions about the project is:

· System Engineer will provide appropriate requirements decomposition.

· Software Engineer will design, develop and perform the unit test of software.

· System Test engineer will provide component and perform enterprise level testing.

· Quality Engineer will provide quality checks through the entire project performance.

· Work break down structure is provided to show the work of all Engineers.

· All of the employee is ready to handle for any upcoming risks.

· Peer review to know the opinion from Seniors.

2. What is a work breakdown structure? What is a responsibility matrix? Using the Astin Martin Astin Martin Electronics project activity list and activity duration schedule, create a WBS and RAM.

A work breakdown structure is hierarchical graph that describes the project and divides the work into smaller group to achieve the project goals.

Responsibility assignment matrix is used to describe the works that need to be completed and the team members of the project. In the other word, RAM chart shows the roles and responsibilities of all the employees.

(Major) List all activity costs. From the project activity list and activity duration schedule, estimate the cost of each activity. Then, determine the Total Budgeted Cost (TBC) for the Astin Martin Electronics project. Provide the information in table format by month. Objective evidence of derived costs is required for credit. Use labor and overhead rates as provided in your derived calculations.

3. Provide a cumulative budgeted cost curve and monthly budget curve for the Astin Martin Electronics project. Provide in appropriate graph format. This should represent both monthly budget and TBC over the period of performance of the project.

4. Astin Martin Electronics wants to know if you plan to use a management reserve for their project. Explain what the term reserve means and why you will use contingency reserve in the project or not. Be sure and consider the implications of using or not using the reserve. Provide appropriate detail in your response.

JBB Software is planning to use contingency reserve in this project. The term reserve means the budget or fund that we are planning to use on this project. Risk might occur in future. It might be identified or unidentified. The reason we are planning to use contingency reserve in this project is we can use for both know and unknown risk. It is an estimation reserve based on a number of risk assessment strategies. Contingency reserve is estimated by the project manager and handle them as they occur.

5. Astin Martin Electronics wants to know how JBB Software plans to employ cost management and earned value (EV) in their project. Explain to Astin Martin Electronics why it is necessary to calculate the earned value of work performed and how you plan to execute this task.

Cost management is important to everyone participating in this project. It shows how the project budget is prepared and handled. It helps to control and minimize the project’s

Chances of running beyond the budget. In this project, we have created the activity cost schedule which shows the task and labor cost for each month. We have also created the total budget cost schedule.

We are also calculating the earned value in this project. Earned value is a method of calculating and tracking the amount of project work performed against the schedule. It shows whether the work is behind the schedule or over the project budget. It is calculated by multiplying the percentage of work completed by the project total budget. It is necessary to calculate the earned value of work performed because project manager can see the work performance of employees and the cost. Also, it provide project manager to ensures consistent coordination of the tasks involved which increases the efficiency and control of the project.

6. Astin Martin Electronics is concerned about how JBB Software will manage risks. Describe what JBB Software plans to do in order to manage risk on the Astin Martin Electronics project and if a risk assessment matrix will be employed and why. Provide appropriate level of detail in your response.

JBB software is well prepared and trained to deal with any potential risk that could arise in the project. In order to manage the risk on this project, we will employ risk assessment matrix. Risk assessment matrix is calculated to minimize the possibility of major risk to maximize project efficiency. It helps to identify the risk in the initial phase. When we identify the risk, we will evaluate them as soon as possible. We will give priority to the level of risk and build techniques to reduce its effects.
