Case Study: Montview Stadium Assignment Instructions

Overview

Planning and scheduling are a part of any project manager’s routine. And to do this well, we need to understand how the triple constraint (time, cost, scope) affect our priorities when planning a project’s execution. In the case that follows, you will use your project planning skills (and software) to plan a sport stadium’s construction. You will also use your expert judgment to address the questions that follow, based on your final project schedule. This assignment will introduce you to project management software (or further your knowledge of the software), further develop your planning skills, and allow you to determine next steps for a large-scale project constrained by time and cost.

Instructions

Read the Updated Case 6.2: Montview Stadium in this folder. Using Microsoft Project, create a task list and Gantt chart that details the project schedule (see the Table 1 provided for task details). Once the chart is created, answer the questions presented in the case document. Considering the information provided, construct a Risk Response Matrix (see text p. 227) that details at least 3 risk events that are likely for this case, your responses to the risks, contingency plans, triggers, and the responsible party for each risk event. Then, in the format described below, submit two documents.

· The first document is a paper completed in Microsoft Word that follows current APA format.

1. Title page.

2. Project Summary (2–3 pages), including an introduction to the project and answers to questions 1–3 from the case. For this assignment, include research-based rationale for your answers; be sure to include a discussion of possible risks as well as the date the project is scheduled to be completed. Include at least 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly sources in your discussion.

3. Appendix: One-page Risk Response matrix.

4. Reference page.

· The paper is to be in APA format.

Note: You must use the provided case document for this case. Older versions of the case will not be accepted. In addition, the original Project file must be attached in order for the project to earn credit. PDF files or files created in other, non-approved software are not acceptable.
