Final Project The final project for this course is to create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for a construction project using MS Project 2019. The project is to build a new single-family home in a suburban area. The project team will consist of a project manager, an architect, a general contractor, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, and other skilled tradespeople. The WBS will be created in three levels to break down the project into manageable tasks. The project schedule will be developed using MS Project 2019 to determine the critical path and identify any potential delays. Resource requirements will be chosen to ensure that the necessary personnel are available throughout the project (The project details are provided at the end). Project Management Report The project management report for this construction project will include the following details: Project Scope: The report will outline the scope of the project, including the objectives, deliverables, constraints, assumptions, and boundaries. Work Breakdown Structure: The report will include a detailed WBS with three levels of breakdown along with the duration of each activity. Project Schedule: The report will include a project schedule developed using MS Project 2019 that identifies the critical path and potential delays. Resource Plan: The report will outline the resource requirements for the project, including types of resources needed, quantities required, and a plan for managing resources. Risk Management Plan: The report will include a risk management plan that identifies potential risks to the project and strategies for mitigating those risks. Stakeholder Management Plan: The report will outline a stakeholder management plan that identifies all project stakeholders and strategies for managing stakeholder expectations. Project Governance Structure: The report will outline the governance structure for the project, including the roles and responsibilities of team members. Budget: The report will include a project budget outlining all costs associated with completing the project. Conclusion: The report will conclude with a summary of the project, including any challenges faced during the project, along with lessons learned. By completing this final project using MS Project 2019 to create a WBS with the duration of each activity along with the predecessors' table, students will have gained experience in managing a construction project from initiation to closure using MS Project 2019 and writing a comprehensive project management report.
