Please provide step by step on how to create this schedule on MS Projects.
Global Green Books Publishing continues to produce customized eBooks as a new product line. They have developed a standard WBS that helps them develop customized Project Charters. Customers expect Global Green Books to deliver eBooks on time, but the company has not always been able to deliver on this expectation. Global Green Books now wants to create a schedule for their new European History eBook project.
The Schedule should be aligned to the WBS given below
- The customer of the European History Book (the Professor) needs the eBook to completed no later than 60 days. This means your total project duration should not exceed 60 days.
Global Green Books keeps track of actual activity durations and general labour costs in their estimating database. The following averages can be used for each new eBook project. Adjustments are made for each new eBook project as warranted. Adjustments consider unique project information identified during Project Planning. Here is a list of some of the assumptions you can make in your schedule. You will need to identify other assumptions in order to ensure your schedule contains all of the WBS deliverables. Note: 1 day is assumed to be 8 hours long.
- Customer Service Reps earn $18 per hour and take an average of 3 hours to check and verify each new order.
- The desktop publishing team leads the planning phase which takes about 20 hours in total. The average salary in the desktop publishing team is $30 per hour.
- The desktop publishing team spends an average of 120 hours (3 weeks) producing an eBook.
- Quality Assistants earn $50 an hour and spend an average of 2 hours on each quality check performed.
- Marketing Coordinators earn $35 an hour and spend an average of 10 hours creating a marketing plan for customers.
Please note, I have not provided hourly rates for the Project Manager (Samantha) and other support staff as their costs are covered by the overhead rate.
