Scheduling Your Project and Resources

Project schedules and resources are central to the success of a project. It is important to allot enough time as well as the proper resources to ensure each task is completed on time.

Schedule $-$ Take the WBS you developed from the W$3$ discussion and define all of the activities that will be necessary to create each deliverable in your WBS$.$ Create the schedule for your project using MS Project. If you did not view the W$3$ video message which provided instructions for downloading MS Project, please do so now. Include the Gantt chart within your paper and ensure the critical path is easily identified.

Note: Any scheduling software program can be used such as MS Project, MS Excel, or MS Excel Templates, Monday.com, SmartSheet, or other similar software tools.

Resources $-$ Create your staffing management plan to include the following:

$1.$ Human resource management plan $($including role descriptions and staffing management$)$

$2.$ RACI Chart

$3.$ Gantt Chart with resource assignments

$4.$ Plan for resolving overloads
