the assignment is for a project which should include the following parts and the question is the construction of the house and there are situations for building a house. so there should be a proper scope statement that will tell what are we going to so in the project and what is software we are going to use among the following given software.

and all the assignments ie in parts and can be done at once.

Instructions

1. The students will choose one of the following three options:

• Consider the construction of a $500,000 single family house in your city or region. Develop the project plan that would see this completed.

2. Significant portions of your project will be developed or tracked in some sort of project management software. There are a variety of software options for you to use. In each case, it will be the students responsibility to learn how to obtain and use the software, save files, and properly upload their work to the course for evaluation.

• The industry gold standard is Microsoft Project, but it is expensive, has a high learning curve, and is not supported by Tech Support at YU should you run into problems. Moreover, it is far more sophisticated than you will need for this overall project.
• A good cloud-based option is SmartSheet, for which a base account is free. There are excellent tutorials. Numerous collaboration and team-servicing software are also available online, but only select those that give the option to work in some sort of spreadsheet mode, and that generate Gantt chart-like timelines, as these will be part of what you will need to submit for various sections of the project (such as the WBS mentioned above).
• Microsoft Excel has numerous spreadsheet templates catering to project management application.
• Whichever software you intend to use, communicate this with your professor, to ensure you are using something consistent with the requirements of this project.

3. As the course cannot predetermine which software each student will use, all subsequent sections described below will simply refer to the working project file that you will add to and modify with each section, in whatever application you use, as the project software document.

• This is a key learning outcome for the course. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the software and use any tutorials supplied.
• Also, the video in Unit 3 on developing a Work Breakdown Structure adds to the learning on the importance of process in this activity.
• All additions to the Project software document should have an accompanying text document containing:
  • An introduction of the addition and the decisions that impacted on the results.
  • A summary of the conclusions and key points in the addition. This summary would be used to inform the project managers who would take the plan to delivery or implementation.
  • It must be 1-2 pages and in APA format.

4. The individual term project will have eleven sections to be delivered and revised over four deliverable submissions, to be submitted per the following schedule:
