For this assignment, you will use Microsoft Project to set up a project for Wentworth students to start up a club. The WIT club will be called the Cheese Club. The Cheese Club will be a chapter of the international La Fromage Society (LFS) organization. WIT requires a faculty advisor for all campus clubs. LFS requires a faculty sponsor. Professor Stanard has graciously decided to serve as both the faculty advisor and faculty sponsor.

The project will start on Tuesday, Feb. 15th. Make sure to set the overallocation setting to MANUAL (not automatic!) If resources are overallocated (red people in the Indicators column), leave them overallocated.

  • Additionally, Professor Stanard is going to a conference March 11-13 and will not be available to work.

(Hint: You should create calendars for work study, co-op and Prof. Stanard should have a separate schedule.)

Submission requirements:

  • A MS Project file will include all of these work weeks, costs, vacations, tasks, durations, dependencies, etc. within the file.
  • Answer the following questions on a separate Word document:
  1. What day does your project end?
  2. How many hours of work does your project entail?
  3. How much does your project cost?
  4. What is your last task(s)?
  5. How many hours of work does Buzz have?
  6. What day will the Cheese Club be established?
  7. Which task(s) are on the critical path?

Make sure that the answers on your Word document accurately reflect what is on YOUR file. Small errors can change hours, cost, etc. Your work will be corrected to your OWN file. If it is not the answer in your file, then it is WRONG.

If you do not have access for MS please leave it for others to work on it>
