There will be deadlines set for the VP of Tech for on development estimates, and another deadline for the PM on Project Plan and Gant Chart

It is basically a network diagram with multiple boxes with labels that represent events, and then directional lines which represent tasks. A number can be written underneath the directional lines to indicate the amount of time needed. For a group project that would last 2-3 months, I would use the Gantt chart. A Gantt chart can accomplish what a complicated PERT chart would do, it would be more pleasing towards the eye as there wouldn’t be so many moving parts in the assignment (I’m assuming this group project isn’t terribly complicated). Things that would be needed to be done simultaneously can easily be expressed and understood with a Gantt chart (overlap of bars and weeks). For example, on the y-axis of the Gantt chart, my group would list our activities: 1) Conduct research, 2) Analyze data and then 3) Prepare for presentation then present. On the x-axis, we would list the number of weeks needed (12 weeks in this case). The bar for 1) will span week 1 –

The Gantt chart is used for the scheduling of project tasks to show the start and finish dates, as well as the duration. This helps to see the duration for the entire project, making sure that there is no overlapping of the task to ensure there is no overlapping. The assistant manger is the main one to see the schedules follow through this will include the making sure the staff show up to their set schedules while the project also stays on track with the schedule. The Gantt chart is really great for the development of the schedule.

The stakeholders have also have also decided on a $200,000 budget. This is a realistic goal; however there are some risks involved in the process. One risk that may be incurred is that one or more personnel may leave the project for one reason or another. There shall be a “pool” of qualified contract project professionals, on stand-by, just in case this happens. Another risk that may possibly happen is the lack of resources. There will be a process put in place to contact appropriate personnel should resources, such as, equipment, monies, personnel, etc. run short.

Guideline word count 450 - 500 words A.C. 2.3 - Describe strategies used to predict and manage disruption in resource supply and the associated costs Task 5 Explain how the use of both human and physical resources is recorded. Provide examples of typical reporting arrangements for each and their frequency. Describe at least two different methods of comparing actual resource usage against forecast requirements and identifying variances. Discuss the subsequent forward planning that leads from identification of variances, including examples of actions that may be undertaken as a result. Use practical examples where possible. Guideline word count 650 - 700 words A.C. 3.1 - Review progress of actual resource use against planned resource use A.C. 3.2 - Discuss methods of recording and reporting resource use A.C. 3.3 - Explain methods of using resource information to inform future actions CMI Membership Benefits CMI is the only chartered professional body in the UK dedicated to management and leadership.

The types of project management charts are; Gantt chart, which is a chart that shows the schedule of a project. This chart is mainly used for project management and is more detailed then the milestone plan chart. This chart will show you the status and progress of your projects. Next you have the milestone plan chart, which represents the major milestones of the

Finally, the last step of the project will be to have the tool embedded into the organization’s EMR. A GANTT chart provides a visual outline for the timeline and progress of a proposed project (AHRQ). Appendix B contains the GANTT chart for the proposed PEWS

For the Week 6 Discussion you will create a Gantt chart for one element of the St. Dismas case study project. Using a project management tool like MS Project is typically the easiest and fastest way to do this. However, it is not the only way. You can use MS Office products as well to create the Gantt Chart.

So we will set up milestones that show deadlines the date, mean by finish a task which a milestone is a task with zero duration. We think that a milestone is most important in a log cabin project as it show important dates on the project plan and often key events, but it does not affect any of the Gantt chart calculations. Overall, the work breakdown structure (WBS) to make complex a log cabin project more management while the WBS is designed to help breakdown this project into manageable chunk that can be effectively estimated. Also a WBS helps to explain a log cabin project scope to the stakeholder, supplier and labor.

44% (17 out of 39) of the tasks are complete. At present, progress is being made to model the subsystems by Vensim. However, the current task being performed should have been completed 12 days ago, on November 30th 2016. According to the schedule, the current task that should be carried out is developing the model of the subsystems. Therefore, the project is 4% (12 days) behind the schedule and a yellow warning is issued. This is due to inexperience in Vensim which led to the time taken for modelling the subsystems being longer than expected. This is because a lot of time was spent in learning how to practice Vensim as well as applying the knowledge gained in the project. Furthermore, the Gantt chart was developed assuming there is no variable affecting the schedule, such that Individual Project being the only module and not considering the workload of other modules. This led to the actual time required for this task being inaccurately estimated and should be longer than the initial estimation. The project completion date will not be affected as time can be made up by working extended hours during the semester break to catch up with the tasks that missed their target deadlines.

We will submit weekly milestone reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The milestone repost for the project will base on information in the Gantt chart. An agenda for the project team meeting will develop to work through some of the challenges while facing in executing the project. Update the scope of the project while having some changes in the executing phase. We will develop detailed lists of assumptions and questions that all the project team has related to the new scope of the project.

In this stage, whatever comes out from plan phase get executed and the project work gets complete. Most of the time and depend on the project type, this is the longest
