answer the questions presented after.

Note that the charter below does not refer to an authorized project.

CHARTER BEGINS.....

Version $1\mathrm{.}0$

Distribution: Restricted to Sponsor and Project Team

The GateKeeper module of Compute.Access is a project that has the objective of reducing the

possibility of vehicle theft from of a parking lot at which a security barrier is installed. The basic idea

is to use automated tools that perform face recognition and license plate recognition to determine if

an approved driver is behind the wheel of a vehicle about to exit the lot. The project should use as

much local $($Jamaican$)$ knowledge and expertise as possible.

Current options on the market are prohibitive for reasons that include a pricing in the range of

$$1,000,000,$ along with the constraint that the data required for the application would not be managed

locally. It is believed the Department of Computing, UWI, Mona possesses the technical competence

to design and implement the product. The initial phase of project is aimed at creating a single

installation at the gate of the FST parking lot, however it is expected the procedures used to create

the product will allow easy replication in other locations that may request the product.

It is important that the system be completed and tested at a point in time when traffic is low, and as

such the system needs to be completed by December $2019$ to allow testing in the first week of

January $2020.$ During the period of work, the Department of Computing, UWI, Mona is expected to

fund all equipment, material and licensing costs that may arise.

Define a WBS to describe the deliverables expected for Compute.Access.GateKeeper.

To normalize work done by different persons, your WBS will be created using the following

guidelines:

$1.$ High Level deliverables should be Hardware, Software and Management

$2.$ There should be three levels in the WBS $($note that not all deliverables will need three levels of

breakdown$)$

$3.$ The number of work packages should be between $10$ and $15($inclusive$).$

$($NOTE: OBTAIN SIGNOFF ON YOUR WBS FROM THE TUTOR BEFORE YOU PROCEED

TO OTHER QUESTIONS

NOTE ALSO... THE WBS CONTAINS SUB$-$DELIVERABLES REQUIRED TO CREATE

THE DELIVERABLE.

PROJECT DOCUMENTS SUCH AS THE BUDGET ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS

Question $1$b$.$ Define the Activities $(5$ marks$)$

Review the accompanying work breakdown structure, and create an Activities List

Question $1$c$.$ Estimate and Sequence activities $(10$ marks$)$

Determine predecessor and successor relationships and estimate durations on each activity in the list,

and then present the updated activities list.

Question $1$d$.$ Create a Network Diagram $(20$ marks$)$

Create a network diagram from the activities list, with each node in the network diagram containing

the name of the activity and the duration.

Question $1$e$.$ Critical Path Analysis $(20$ marks$)$

Perform Critical Path Analysis on the network diagram, and clearly represent the resulting values for

your Early Start, Early Finish, Late Start, Late Finish, Total Float and Critical Path.

Question $1$f$.$ Representing the Project in Software $(10$ Marks$)$

Enter your activities list, with durations and task relationships into the software OpenProj $($or

Microsoft Project$).$ Save your result as a Project xml file

Question $1$g$.$ Representing costs $(15$ marks$)$

Allocate resources to your activities, and costs to your resources in the project software, ensuring that
