Project Instructions:
The semester project S1 consists of the Running Case tasks from Chapter 4 & Chapter 5.
1. Complete Task 4 as described in the Chapter 4 Running Case. Save the project charter as a Word document (35 points);
2. Complete Tasks 2-4 as described in the Chapter 5 Running Case. Save the project scope statement (15 points) and the WBS (25 points) inside one Word document, and the Gantt chart (25 points) as a Excel spreadsheet.
Note: As you might notice from reading the book, there are several software such as MS Project and MindView can be used to create the Gantt chart. However, Microsoft Project is quite expensive and the MindView has only 30-day free trail.
In order to learn the PM concept without costing a fortune, you will learn to use Excel to create Gantt chart by following LinkedIn Learning tutorials:
- Gantt Chart Explained (Links to an external site.) (As for now, focus on Chapter 1 “Constructing a Gantt Chart”, particularly: “Assessing the software options”, “Use Excel for Gantt chart”, and “Use templates”, but you will need all of the other sections of chapter 1 for full understanding)
- Creating Gantt Charts (Excel 2013 (Links to an external site.), Excel 2016, Excel 2019 (Links to an external site.)).
