Project Overview This Project Management course is designed to equip you with a solid foundation that to help you navigate through project management challenges like scope changes, costs, schedule changes, and the untimely delivery of the final deliverables. For mastering the art of project management, this course guided you to imbibe the critical qualities of a sound project manager. These qualities include time management, preempting project delays in advance, addressing resource constraints, allocating alternatives and equally good resources, keeping all stakeholders satisfied and prioritizing quality over quantity. Further, the instructors strengthened your understanding of the project management matrix. This was achieved by dissecting each sub-process and delving into their practical understanding. The project for this course has been structured considering your understanding of the aforementioned knowledge areas. However, it is essential to note that no two projects are identical. Every project will have a distinct structure in how its components are formulated. This project carries a total of 40 marks divided into questions or exercises. For more details on the breakdown of the marks for each exercise, please go through the evaluation rubrics shared in the subsequent segments of this session. All the necessary information is present in the questions. Please read the case scenarios carefully before attempting the project questions, and submit the solution in the .pdf format only. Please note: BIMTECH and upGrad follow a strict no-plagiarism policy. Your project can be disqualified if found plagiarized or copied from another source. In the next segment, you will go through a case study that will require you to apply all your learnings from the course so far. Report an error NEXT Problem Statement Problem Statement Case Scenario Institute of Management Studies [IMS] currently has an outdated web presence in appearance, structure, functionality, and content. Outside of edits to the text, images, links, HTML and CSS, and video content the existing site functionally has had only minor adjustments for approximately three years. Few web developers have classified the site as text and link-heavy; lacking strategy and consistency on most academic program pages. Objective During the COVID-19 pandemic, IMS was required to move all courses to a virtual learning environment. This disruption created the need for more accessible online resources and mobile capabilities that were unavailable with the current website. This reliance on distance learning created a need for tools that could adequately replace the approaches and accessibility used in traditional face-to-face classes. This lack of technology greatly impacted the students ability to learn and communicate in an online environment. An upgrade to the current website is needed to enable the college to provide the tools the students need to navigate and access critical functions and information needed for learning success in this new environment. An opportunity exists to re-engineer the site to incorporate the latest web technologies better. Upon completion of the site's development, IMS will assume full responsibility for website content maintenance and administration. All content, coding and graphics will become the sole property of IMS. Scope of work Create a flexible, informative, up-to-date website that is easy to maintain and viewable on desktop and mobile devices. In addition to designing a user-friendly site with an intuitive interface, the system must also incorporate a web-based, database-driven content management system that allows critical personnel to easily update content without directly accessing source code. In addition, IMS is seeking a design partner that provides tools for search engine optimization and social sharing. For pages and content that is not yet in existence, the preference is to have user-selectable, predefined templates to choose from that dictate the layout and color scheme. IMS would consider the hosting options based on the recommendations of the consultant. To be effective, the website must be: Easy and intuitive Visually pleasing Informative Safe and secure Quick to load and operate Responsive mobile device and desktop Improve net promoter score (NPS) and google rankings Search engine optimization with proper keyword research The new site should engage visitors by presenting attractive visual images, intuitive navigation, and concise messaging while at the same time increasing functionality and ease of use for existing students, faculty, and staff. The tools that are incorporated must allow for the timely delivery of content using basic technical skills and limited personnel. Read through the case scenario very carefully. The next segment will consist of the questions that you need to answer.

Exercise 2: Creating a Work Breakdown Structure (10 marks)

Based on the details of the proposed movement project, create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Divide the project into as many work packages as possible. Refer to the WBS of the car manufacturing project that you learnt about in the session on Project Scope Management. For your ease, it has been appended below.

WBS: Car Manufacturing

Another example of a WBS in the case of a house construction project is shown below.

The aforementioned examples will aid you in creating the WBS for the project. Use your imagination and be as creative as possible

Ability to identify at least four or more relevant work packages in the WBS
