BUSN330 Project Management - Team Project Using Microsoft Project to Setup the Team Project Each team member will create their own project using the steps listed below. When all team members have completed the steps, the team will agree on which file to submit on behalf of the group. The following steps are a guide for using MS-Project to plan the baseline for this project: 1. Each student in the group will start MS-Project and create a new Blank Project. 2. Make sure to set new tasks to Auto Schedule (bottom left corner). 3. Go to the Project Information dialog box and set Schedule from: Project Start Date (ASAP) and pick the start date of March 8", 2021 for the project. Click Ok when complete. 4. Type the list of tasks with durations into the Task Sheet. Summary tasks are created when you select the tasks below the summary task and then indent. The summary task automatically calculates the duration for the set of tasks summarized below. Do not establish any relationships yet. 5. Once the tasks and durations are in, save the project as ProjectTeam99 to your Google Drive (the 99 is your group number). 6. Establish the relationships between the tasks by creating one link between each pair of tasks from predecessor to successor. 7. The Project Information will show the completion date of the project. 8. Save as ProjectTeam99Schedule to your Google Drive when all relationships are established. 9. You should now be able to determine the critical path of the project (view or report), 10. Print your Gantt Chart, Calendar, Task Sheet with Entry table, and the PERT chart as PDFs. 11. Switch to the Resource Sheet view and enter your list of resources with costs. 12. Change the view back to the Gantt Chart and Assign the resources to the appropriate tasks. Make sure that when you are assigning multiple resources to a single task you identify all of the resources for that task before you click on the Assign button. If you don't do it that way you may find that the durations change. 13. Save as ProjectTeam99Plan when all the resources have been assigned to their tasks. 14. The Project Information - Statistics should now show the total project cost, duration and, work hours. 15. Set the Baseline for the project and then Save as Project Team99Baseline to your Google Drive. 16. PDF Print the Project Summary, Budget, Cost per Task and Cost per Resource 17. Save again then exit Project. Create a backup of the file called ProjectTeam99 Baseline 18. Once all group members have created their individual project files, have your group make sure that everyone agrees on the schedule, budget, work hours and duration hours (see Project Information, Statistics) then submit one of your team's files for marking with the zipped reports.KEY Winter 2021 Project Statistics for "BUSN330FinalProjectPlan.mpp' X Start Finish Current Mon 3/8/21 Fri 3/26/21

A copy of this update report will be included in the Final Report. The following changes were recorded to update the project: . The project extended by 11 hours and $1,085 because these tasks took longer than planned: O #4. Website Criteria Determined from 4 to 6 hours (+2hrs, $320) O #5. Storyboard Presented from 3 to 5 hours (+2hrs, $200) O #10. Design Specifications Developed from 3 to 6 hours (+3hrs, $345) O #13. Framework Designed from 4 to 6 hours (+2hrs, $110) o 15#. Design Panel Styles from 4 to 6 hours (+2hrs, $110) . The person that was taking too much time to do the work was replaced with another person that could do the tasks faster. This substitution in the resource pool does not require any changes in MS-Project but would be noted in the Final Report. The project required an increase in the number of available Web Developers and Graphic Artists to eliminate the overallocation when some tasks occurred simultaneously. This will prevent delays and does not change to the budget or schedule. Check the Project Information Status to see that the project is overbudget and behind schedule. We can also see this issue by looking at the Earned Value Report. The client expects the budget to stay below $10k and the latest completion date of March 25th. The project manager has made the following changes to the project in consultation with the team: Tasks 21 and 25-Added one more Web Developer to these tasks in order to completed faster (same work hours with 2 people time 4 hours = 8 hours). No change to the budget Tasks 43 and 45 will benefit from the Web Developer assisting the Tester. This will not change the budget but will allow those tasks to be completed in one half (50%) of the time. The duration is reduced but the tasks will have the same work hours. . The following tasks were discussed with the team and can be completed faster: o #28 to 3hrs O #49 to 2hrs O #66 to 2hs O #42 to 4hrs o #59 to 1hr O #71 to 2hrs Make the proposed changes from the Project Manager to your group project. Save and print the reports. Compare your group's reports and determine the "best" .MPP to submit for your group
