Project management case study

Based on the following information, create in Microsoft Project, a WBS and then an AON. Add at least 4 milestones. Now add a lag of two days to an activity on a noncritical path.

There are five employees involved in these activities. Assign the tasks to people and create their pay rate, then add a few material resources, and then check to be sure that no one and no equipment is over assigned. No human can work more than eight hours in a day, nor 40 hours in a week.

Create a Gantt chart to show that you are on time ten days into the project, and another to show that you are late by 2 days.

Now adjust the work week from five days (All of the figures are based on an 8 hour day, working Monday to Friday) to seven days a week, but no one person can work more than 40 hours in any week. Print out the new ANO and Gantt chart.

Create a split view.

What is the baseline plan? What is the cost of the project?

The activities can be anything you want. If you are lost, try constructing a house.
