W4 Nightingale Case A & B – 35 points - Individual Assignment

As indicated in the syllabus, it is important to demonstrate knowledge of MS Project. Week 4 includes using the software and interpreting the results as follows:

1. Read the Nightingale Project - LG textbook pg 333-335

2. Review MS Project Video Tutorials (Lessons/Course Materials/Support Videos) and complete the Case for both Part A and Case Part B.

3. Submit two separate MS Project .mpp files (one for part A and one for part B). Remember to submit the appropriate “view” reflecting all applicable columns and content information.

4. Submit MS Word file to specifically answer all questions for both parts (part A questions 1-3 & part B questions 1-4).

5. Ensure you document the version of MS Project you are using in the submission comments field.

Hints:

You should read ALL instructions in the case and case technical details before you start the Project file.

You may want to set up the Project file ex: start date, holidays, work days, etc. before entering in any tasks.

Ensure the project name is on the first line of the Project file and all other tasks as detailed in the case are indented just once.

The predecessor numbers for all subtasks will then be one higher than in the text as the first line (main task) is now the Project name.

The lag mentioned in the case A section is plus lag.
