There was an error on your Work Breakdown structure. There are two tasks missing on it. Your job is to add two new tasks to the project. You will have to assign the appropriate resources to these new tasks. Next, you will have to update the Gantt Chart and check your new critical path. These two new tasks must be significant and disrupt the critical path. Finally, answer the following questions:

What will this do to your project completion time and the critical path?

What impact will this have to your resource schedule?

What impact will this have to your budget?

How would you overcome these problems?

The deliverable for this part of the project will be a formal letter to your supervisor (your instructor) that explains this error, the results of this error, and your recommendation on how to overcome these issues along with addressing the questions above. You will need to provide supporting documentation from MS Project in an Appendix. You will submit the letter as a MS Word file. You will also submit the MS Project file.

Bischop Landing Airfield Project Scope

4 July 2023

Project Objectives:

The objective of the Bischop Landing Airfield Project is to construct a new airfield that will be able to facilitate 92% local general aviation and 8% transient general aviation. The new airfield will be 2560x40 ft and will be made of reinforced concrete.

Project Deliverables:

• A new 2560x40 ft airfield made of reinforced concrete
• A drainage system to collect and divert stormwater
• Lighting for the airfield
• A safety fence around the airfield
• A maintenance building

Project Milestones

• Start of construction: June 14, 2023
• Completion of construction: June 14, 2024
• Acceptance of the project by the customer: July 1, 2024

Technical Requirements:

• The airfield must be able to support the weight of small aircraft.
• The airfield must be able to drain stormwater effectively.
• The airfield must be illuminated at night.
• The airfield must be fenced to prevent unauthorized access.
• The maintenance building must be equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to maintain the airfield.

Project Constraints or Limits:

• The project budget is $278,000.00.
• The project must be completed by June 14, 2024.
• The airfield must be able to support the weight of small aircraft.

Ethical and Social Responsibility Considerations:

• The project must be conducted in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
• The project must be sensitive to the needs of the local community.

Customer Review:

The customer for the project is Mr. Matthew Gonzalez. Mr. Gonzalez will review the project at the following milestones:

• Start of construction
• Completion of construction
• Acceptance of the project

Dependencies

The following are the dependencies between the tasks:

• The excavation of the airfield site must be completed before the removal of the old airfield can begin.
• The removal of the old airfield must be completed before the preparation of the ground for concrete pouring can begin.
• The preparation of the ground for concrete pouring must be completed before the pouring of the concrete foundation can begin.
• The pouring of the concrete foundation must be completed before the asphalt paving of the airfield surface can begin.
• The installation of the stormwater drainage system must be completed before the installation of the lighting system can begin.
• The installation of the lighting system must be completed before the installation of the safety fence can begin.
• The construction of the maintenance building must be completed before the project can be considered complete.

Critical Path
