Construct a working budget for your project using Microsoft Excel. Request quotes from your preferred suppliers discussed last week, or search for publicly-available commercial products that would serve your purpose and presume your company receives a 50% discount off retail pricing. If you are unable to obtain reasonable salary/compensation rates, use $25/hr as a baseline for all parties. Use your local tax rate. Include reference sites with your preferred product on a second tab within the workbook.
Use the spreadsheets reviewed in this week of class as models for developing your budget. Build in appropriate formulas and calculations.
This assignment will be submitted for an independent grade during Week 5. Then, your completed budget should be incorporated into your Final Term Project at the end of the course.
Using your Term Project Draft as a starting point, write and submit a paper for your term project that outlines the plan for your chosen company. Your final submission should be informed by weekly class readings and discussions and include the following elements:
Your project should include the following elements:
- Project Charter elements:
- Project team (including functional managers)
- Statement of Work (including goal, scope of work, location, period of performance, deliverables schedule, standards, acceptance criteria, special requirements, type of contract)
- Gantt chart
- Supplier identification methods and results (how did you find the suppliers?)
- Vendor selection matrix
- A written contract for a good or service, informed by scope of work, including relevant clauses
- Budget
Your paper should be double-spaced and reference your resources, such as professional journals and the like. For more details about the term project, see Company and Term Project in the week 1 lecture. Note you will only be able to submit one document for this submission due to limitations of the system, unfortunately.
