Week 3 discussions
Project Schedule (graded)
To develop a schedule for a project, we will use
the concept of a project network, which shows work activities taken from the
work breakdown structure and organized according to the logical flow in time
and relationships governing when the work will be performed. By combining this
network of work activities with estimates of the time duration for performing
each of the activities, we can create a schedule for the project work. What
types of information can we learn about the project by reviewing the project
schedule and all the information used to generate it?
Risk
Management (graded)
Assume you have just been
assigned to a project risk team of five members. Because this is the first time
your organization has formally set up a risk team for a project, it is hoped
that your team will develop a process that can be used on all future projects.
Your first team meeting is next Monday morning. Each team member has been asked
to prepare for the meeting by developing, in as much detail as possible, an
outline that describes how you believe the team should proceed in handling
project risks. Each team member will hand out their proposed outline at the
beginning of the meeting. Your outline should include but not be limited to the
following information:
Team
objectives
Process
for handling risk events
Team
activities
Team
outputs
