Program Management:

. Part 3 The STW is planned to be completed over twenty (20) working days and only two (2) people are allocated to that team. This provides a total of just forty (40) person-days to complete the STW. The members of the working group have asked you to explain how this can be done. Here are some key considerations: It will be impossible to start the STW earlier because there is no spare time available to shift the System Testing. The Project Sponsor has made it clear that the Go Live date for the first Pilot cannot be moved (eg. it is a hard wall milestone). There is no funding available for additional staff or overtime. The sequences for the activities shown in the ADM must be achieved. Activity J can be conducted in a shorter timeframe if necessary, but it will still require four (4) person-days to complete the task. Both members of the STW team can do any task that is required. Begin your explanation by building a histogram in the following grid. Then phase the Activities and allocate the resources as required to meet the objectives. This can be done by following the instructions provided in the following focus box. The final diagram that you provide as your answer must be clear, readily understandable, and illustrate how you can level/smooth the program to complete the activities in the allocated time with the available resources, How to build the Levelling & Smoothing Histogram in Word (1) Type the Activity letter into each pertinent cell, so this represents that task being done by one of the team members on that day. (2) Try to keep task allocations together as much as possible, so there is work continuity (3) Start by inserting the critical path tasks into the bottom row of the histogram. (4) Then lay in the non-critical path items in the row above this. (5) Conduct levelling and smoothing as necessary but ensure that the general sequence of activities remains valid (in accordance with the ADM). (6) if you wish, you can also colour the cells, so that each activity has a different hue. This activity can make it easier to understand. Please note that this step is optional. The key is to insert the appropriate Activity letters into the right places. 4 SI working dayal compro Number of staff needed Maximum number of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Working Days Part 4 Finally, in the following table type in your answer to explain how you have achieved this objective and your reasoning behind the levelling/smoothing. Please note that this does not require you to define levelling and smoothing. You just need to explain the approach that you took to complete the levelling and smoothing effectively. .
