Final Assignment 1

You are working on a project to develop Student Management application. This application is to help
students to improve their self knowledge and skills. It would include the following capabilities:

• Allow students to register for university-sponsored courses, such as C++ programming, Machine
Learning, Data Mining, Project Management, and Database Design, etc.
• Allow students to register for university-sponsored classes and courses to help them manage their
learning progresses, improve their soft skill such as public speaking, communication, marketing.
• Track data of student involvement in these courses.
• Offer incentives for students to join the courses and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving
score goals, winning team competitions, etc.)

Request 1 - Work Breakdown Structure


Develop a WBS for the project. Break down the work to Level 3 or Level 4, as appropriate.

Assume that the Level 1 category is called Software Project, and that the Level 2 categories are Initiating,
Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. Under the Executing section, include Level
3 categories of Analysis, Design, Prototyping, Testing, Implementation, and Support. The Support category
includes Level 4 items for Training, Documentation, User Support, and Enhancements

Request 2 - Deliverables
Identify at least five milestones mapped to the main deliverables for the project. For each milestone, write
short describing using SMART criteria.

Request 3 – Project Scheduling


Assume that you have defined and estimate project schedule with below high level activities

Activity Preceding Activity Duration in Weeks


Start None 0
A Start 5
B Start 10
C B 11
D A 20
E D, B 7
F C 8
G E, F 3
H G 6
End F, H 0
Draw AON (or PDM) network diagram and identify the project duration

Request 4 – Schedule Updating & Tracking


After 4 weeks, your manager/sponsor ask you to speed up so that your project would finish 2 weeks
sooner, please define at least three solutions ordered by the choosing priority and included relevant
explanation.
Request 5 – Cost Evaluation
Your project is scheduled for 2 years. There are six different teams working on five major functional
areas. Some teams are ahead of schedule while others are falling behind. There are cost overruns in
some areas but you’ve also saved costs in others. Due to all this, it is difficult to understand whether you
are over or under budget. Nine months into the project, while the total project budget is $4,200,000,
you’ve already spent $1,650,000. CPI is 0.875. Can you perform EV analysis and forecast
