Note on the schedule: 1. The project will be carried out on weekdays which are not public holidays. You are required to identify ALL official Singapore Public Holidays from the Ministry of Manpowers website that fall within the projects life cycle. If a Public Holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday will be a Public Holiday in lieu. If that Monday is another Public Holiday, the Tuesday will be the Public Holiday in lieu. There will be no holiday-in-lieu for Public Holiday that falls on Saturday.

2. Table 1 shows activities before grouping according to Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Activity 1 is the Level-1 Activity. The project team has decided there will be three Level-2 activities with their respective Level-3 activities grouped below: i. Administration and Publicity: Activity number 2,11,12,13 ii. Vaccine Development: Activity number 3,5,6,8,10 iii. Setup Production: Activity number 4,7,9,14 You are not required to create a separate WBS diagram. However, you need to list the activities in MS Project according to the grouping above.

3. All project members have subordinates/partners/contractors to carry out the work. Hence, a project member can be working on multiple tasks simultaneously. There is no need to resolve role resource conflicts. You are not required to fill in the Resource Names in MS Project. Using MS Project for Question 2:

4. You must mark in MS Project all Public Holidays and Holidays-in-lieu as Non-Working Days. Click Project -> Change Working Time. Then enter the name or nature of the holiday and the date. Click Details ->Click Nonworking

5. Click Project Project Information Set Start Date as directed by CEO.

6. Click View -> Gantt Chart ->Gantt Chart, then View ->Table -> Entry to enter the Task Name, Duration, Predecessors. Do not change the order of the activities yet. i. Set Activity 1 as the Higher-Level Activity by highlighting all activities after and right indent them to second level. ii. Click the task(s) row (individually or in group) and drag them up or down to gather the activities into three groups shown in item 2 above. Then add task (row) for actual Level-2 Activity. Right indent the original tasks to be Level-3 Activities. Check each task that the duration and predecessors are same as those in the Activity List in Table 2. Manually change the information if needed.

7. To show any critical path in red colour, click Format, tick Critical Path.

8. You must show the Gantt Chart on the report instead of referring the marker to an embedded file. You may do a screen capture of the MS Project view with necessary cropping and present the Gantt Chart as one complete diagram. The diagram must be appropriately formatted and presented so that it is legible and can be comfortably viewed. Any answer that is not processed and presented with MS Project will result in mark reduction.

(b) A project manager must be proactive to prevent risks from happening. (i) Analyse five (5) potential risks that may happen in the CDV Project or its subsequent vaccine business, one from each of the categories: Technical, External, Organisational, Project Management and Customer. You should use Table 2 to present your answers.

Table 2: Risk Analysis

Item	Category	Description of Risk	Consequence

Risk 2	External
Risk 3	Organisational
Risk 4	Project Management
Risk 5	Customer
