2. Project selection and prioritization

 

Explain in summary how you have done selection and refer to annex for detail

 

 

3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

 

Things to do BEFORE WBS (this table is for action, not part of report)

–          Draw structure tree of your project–          At least three level for some branches and 20 activities (end of branch work) –          Cut out these activities and arrange their sequent –          Write the flow into predecessor table and decide their duration –          Enter data into software such as MS Project (MUST by software) –          Decide on your project team (5 members) and responsibilities of every member –          Enter data into MS Project (note ONLY 30 days trial) –          Run the project and adjust accordingly

 

–           Explain in detail the meaning of WBS, work package, usefulness of WBS (citationsneeded)

 

• Activities of project

 

–           Draw the WBS you have already work out above (explain in box above).   Use software generated copy (if possible), otherwise use manual.

• Explain in detail what your project activities are, justified their inter-relationship, justified the duration allocation for each activities
• Example of a WBS:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Organisation Breakdown Structure (OBS)

–           Explain in detail OBS chosen – the type and (citations needed).  Note that brief explanation for other types not used.

–           Explain the type chosen for your project team and justified (with discussion of advantages; avoid highlighting disadvantages).

–           Show the structure tree diagram

–           Include Name and Designation of every project team member

 

5. Integration of WBS and OBS

–           Explain the conceptual detail of integration, responsibility chart (citations needed)

–           Show responsibility matrix chart (MS printout or manual table)

–           Justified the allocation of responsibilities – Responsibility Chart

–           Show integration chart (structure tree chart)

–           Label each cell and then provide detail of cell in table format

–           Note that there will be very little ‘description’ in this section – mainly display of charts.

–           Example of an explanation:

Name : Lim Ah Seng– OBS

Designation : Electrical Technician– OBS

Budget: $30,000– section 8

Duration: 3 Jan – 6 Jan (3 days)– MS Project

Description of activity:  Installation of crane hook; with cable …

 

6. Network diagram

–           Explain the conceptual detail of network diagram, forward and backward pass, critical path, critical activities (citations needed)

–           Show network diagram (MS printout ONLY)

–           Justify the relationship if not done so in previous section (e.g. WBS).

 

7. Gantt Chart

–           Explain the conceptual detail of Gantt Chart (citations needed)

–           Show Gantt Chart (MS printout ONLY)

–           No need to justify the relationship as done in previous section, just show the chart as a figure in this section.

 

8. Budgeting of project

• Explain the conceptual details of budgeting including top down and bottom up, variable cost, fixed cost (citations needed)
• Decide what you will be using for this project and justified your choice
• Show the financial details in table format and justify the spending.
• Note that there is no standard table, therefore individual students will have their own style of presentation.
• Tables speak a thousand words and therefore, wide use of tables in report is encouraged.

 

9. Risk Management

• Explain the conceptual details of risk management, including risk identification, risk assessment, risk response development and risk response control (citationsneeded).
• Structure in this section may include the followings (subject to nature of your project):

• Risk assessment – must include figures below from prescribed textbook

Figure 7.5 p.211  Ch7 S12

 

Figure 7.6 p. 212 Ch7 S13
