Lab 1 - IT SOFTWARE PROJECT A. In this exercise, you are required to enter the following tasks along with each task's duration (in days) and the predecessor tasks into Microsoft Project. Assume the Project start date is 03/05/2020 No. 1234567890123456781920212223242526728 29 30 31 32 33 34 1 WBS 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.2 1.1.3 1.1.4 1.2 1.2.1 1.2.1.1 1.2.1.2 1.2.1.3 1.2.1.4 1.2.2 1.2.3 1.2.4 1.2.5 1.2.6 1.2.7 1.3 1.3.1 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.3.4 1.3.5 1.3.6 1.4 1.4.1 1.4.2 1.4.3 1.4.4 1.4.5 1.4.6 1.4.7 1.5 Name IT PROJECT Definition Interviews Prep Req Doc Prep Proj Plan Prep Proposal Analysis Interviews Management Supervisor Technical Clerical Anal Existing Doc Synthesis Functional Spec Re-estimate Plan Development Prop Presentation Design System Design Walk-through File Design Walk-through Acc Test Plan Design Spec Construction Plan the Integration Module Design Walk-through Plan Module Testing Coding Module Test User Documentation System Test Duration 2d 2d 2d 2d 1d 2d 2d 2d 3d 3d 5d 1d 4d 1d 5d 1d 2d 1d 4d 5d 4d 5d 1d 2d 5d 5d 5d 5d Predecessors 1345 COCHEN 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 28 30 31 25 32 The numbers to the left will appear automatically if you add the WBS column. Be sure to add the WBS and Cost columns to the entry table that is shown in the Gantt chart view. The numbers shown in the WBS column above are there to indicate subordination. However, Microsoft Project will do the work breakdown structure numbers you see above if you do the subordination (indentation) correctly. Interviews, Anal Existing Doc, Synthesis, Functional Spec, Re- estimate Plan, Development Prop, and Presentation are all subtasks within Analysis. Likewise, 1.2.1.1. Management, 1.2.1.2 Interviews. It will be necessary for you to demote these subtasks and sub-sub tasks appropriately in Microsoft Project by use of the demotion (Indent) arrow in the Gantt chart view. B.

What is the expected duration of the project? 2. What is the total budget required to Hourly Rate $50 $60 $70 $80 $40 $50 ete the project? (3 marks) (3 marks) 3. State which activities are on the critical path. 4. Identify and state which activities have free slack/float (6 marks) 5. State the Cost per Assigned Resource (6 marks) 6. Explain why it is important to include a project task at the very beginning of your list of tasks. (6 marks) (5 marks) 7. Explain why summary tasks have no stated duration in the table above. (5 marks) 8. Explain why the first subordinated task immediately below a summary task has no predecessor. (6 marks) Lab 1 - IT SOFTWARE PROJECT A.
