Create a Project Plan Project of your choice (e.g. planning a party, creating an app., building a house, automating a manual task, implementing a new process etc.)

I chose to plan a party.

1) You are required to submit a report of your project

· Your report should 3-5 pages minimum

· The report must include charts (screenshots) using the Microsoft Project software

· Use title paragraphs, headings, bullets etc to make your report look professional

2) Your report should:

· Introduce your project – what is the purpose of doing this project?What is the measure of success for project completion – how will evaluate whether you have delivered the required results?

· Project goal – clearly stated – what is the project; duration in days/weeks/months; start and finish dates; total cost ($).

· Discuss the various tasks and sub tasks – these should be explained and not just listed

· Paste a copy of your Gantt Chart

· The Gantt Chart must show the Finish-to-start dependency between tasks

3) Create a Project Summary Task Bar and a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with Summary Tasks

· Show the Critical Path

· Discuss all resources – people and material/equipment

· Assign tasks to resources – attach/copy & paste Gantt Chart showing these

4) Use Microsoft Project Reports

· Attach (or copy and paste into document) Top level tasks report

· Attach (or copy and paste into document) Assignments report

· Attach (or copy and paste into document) Costs report

5) Write a conclusion for the project:

· Your experience working on this project

· How did you do?

· Your objective evaluation of your performance

· Your learnings – if you had to do it over – what would you change and why?

6) Cite all sources
