Use Microsoft Project OR a project management software to set up a project based on the list
Question:
- Use Microsoft Project OR a project management software to set up a project based on the list of tasks and precedence relationships shown in the table below. Address the questions below. Organize the project into 4 main phases: Analysis (1-4), Design (5-7), Construction (8-9) and Implementation (10-11) (this will change task numbers listed below).
Task | Description | Duration (days) | Predecessor |
1 | Preliminary investigation | 2 | - |
2 | Problem analysis | 2 | 1 |
3 | Data requirements analysis | 3 | 2 |
4 | Process requirements analysis | 6 | 3 |
5 | Database design | 3 | 3 |
6 | Interface design | 4 | 3,4,5 |
7 | Process and program design | 4 | 3,5,6 |
8 | Programming and unit testing | 7 | 5,6,7 |
9 | System testing | 3 | 8 |
10 | Installation | 2 | 9 |
11 | Configure | 1 | 10 |
Provide answers here to the questions below:
- Set the project start date for February 10, 2020
- What will be the end date of the project?
- How many days will it take to complete the Analysis phase?
- How many days will it take to complete the Design phase?
- How many days will it take to complete the Construction phase?
- How many days will it take to complete the Implementation phase?
- How many days will it take to complete the entire project?
- What tasks are on the critical path?
- Explain the critical path
- Paste a screenshot of Gantt chart view– be sure to include task name, duration, start, finish, predecessors and calendar
- Paste a screenshot of Network diagram view
2. Something has changed in the above project. Interface design assumed of a Windows user interface, but now management has decided the system should also support a web browser interface. You estimate that the web screen will require an additional two days to design, prototype, and test. Make this revision to your original duration estimate for “Interface design” in Microsoft Project.
- Review the Gantt chart, Network diagram and critical tasks report
- Explain what this change does to the schedule and projected project completion date? Be specific.
