Looking at the 5 Project Life Cycle phases, we continue with Phase 2: Planning. The planning phase consists of gathering and prioritizing requirements and resources. Phase 1: Initiation Phase 2: Planning Phase 3: Execution Phase 4: Monitoring & Controlling Phase 5: Closure Scenario: As the owner of a company that performs interior painting services, you just recently attended a bidders' conference at JWU and your bid has been accepted so now it is time to gather and prioritize the project requirements. Information from the bidding conference is as follows: "Thank you all for attending. I am very pleased to have these fine companies attending and submitting bids to paint all of the classrooms in Xavier Hall. The Hall has five floors and there are six classrooms on each floor that require painting.  Each floor has rooms numbered f00, f01, f02, f03, f04, and f05 where the f is the floor number for example the first floor has rooms 100 - 105 respectively.  The bottom floor rooms start with a G (e.g. G01).  The rooms are all basically the same: 9-foot height, 40 ft x 30 ft. You will not be painting the ceilings or floor or windows or doors.  You must remove the furniture.  Our custodial team will remove projectors and whiteboards.  The work cannot interfere with the normal classroom schedule (7 am through 9 pm Monday through Thursday.) You must have a member of our security team present during the work. The colors to be used will match the Blue, Gold, and White from the university logo.  We need you to choose high-quality durable paint that can withstand considerable contact. The front wall of each classroom shall be painted with erasable marker paint.  Please provide details of your selections.  The job must be completed in a six-week period corresponding to a schedule which you will set. Please describe your painting technique, space requirements, and conditions for acceptance. The scope statement, once approved, will form the basis of the contract." Directions: Create a complete list of tasks and requirements to bring this project from start to finish.  Prioritize the requirements list and include the milestones previously identified. Identify the resources (personnel) you will assign to the project. Assign personnel to tasks.
