tructionsActivity OverviewIn this activity, you will practice estimating a project plan by creating a Gantt chart. Ganttcharts are especially helpful for visually mapping out project schedules and tasks. Theyare useful for complex projects because they clearly show project tasks, task owners,when tasks are being worked on$,$ and when those tasks are due.This activity expands on the Office Green operations launch scenario you used tocreate your WBS$.$ Once complete, you will review your work against an exemplar, andmake edits as needed.ScenarioReview the scenario below. Then complete the step$-$by$-$step instructions.Here is a review of the Operations and Training plan: Your team will use the plan for ongoing maintenance of the Plant Pals service. It will take six months to fully implement all protocols, including setting upoperational tools, putting delivery processes in place, and training employees. The project will begin before the Plant Pals launch and extend beyond it$.$Your team for this stage of the project includes the following roles: A Financial Analyst, who tracks and calculates costs and revenue A Fulfillment Director, who sources materials, confirms fulfillment processes arecorrectly implemented, and ensures equipment is functional $($with the help of theQuality Assurance Tester$)$ An Inventory Manager, who maintains inventory and oversees softwareinstallation A Human Resources Specialist, who manages hiring and develops trainingprotocols $($with the help of the Training Manager$)$ A Training Manager, who reports to the HR Specialist, runs the training programon the established protocols, and refines training processes A Quality Assurance Tester, who ensures product quality and determines safetyprotocols and best practicesThere are three major milestones and associated tasks for the Operations and Trainingplan:Milestone $1$: Establish a plant delivery and logistics plan Source packaging materials. This task will take $10$ business days $($March $1$st toMarch $12$th$).$ Hire delivery drivers. This process will also take ten business days $($March $15$thto March $26$th$).$ Calculate the delivery fees. This task will also take $10$ business days $($March $29$thto April $9$th$).$Milestone $2$: Select and install supply chain software and equipment Supervise vendor setup of inventory management and fulfillment software. Thisprocess will take three business days $($April $12$th to April $14$th$).$ Supervise vendor installation of the fulfillment equipment from April $15$th to April$16$th $($two business days$).$ Determine internal safety protocols for the equipment from April $19$th to April $30$th$(10$ business days$).$Milestone $3$: Develop and launch an employee training program Develop training sessions. This task will take $10$ business days $($May $3$rd to May$14$th$).$ Train employees to use the software and equipment. The training sessions willtake place over $10$ business days $($May $17$th to May $28$th$).$ Monitor employee progress and improve training processes. This process willlast for $10$ business days $($May $31$st to June $11$th$).$Your goal is to put all of this information into a Gantt chart, so your team can tell whoowns what tasks, when each task is due, and how long the overall project will take.Step by Step InstructionsStep $1$: Access the template on your BlackBoard Gantt Chart Template Activity $-3\%$Step $2$: Add milestones to your Gantt chartAdd your three project milestones to the Gantt chart in sequential order. Enter them inthe grey cells under Milestones & Tasks. We have already added one milestone for you$($Develop and launch an employee training program$).$Step $3.$ Add tasks to your Gantt chartNow add the project tasks to the Milestones & Tasks column. Be sure to list each task insequential order under the appropriate milestone. Your chart should contain three tasksper milestone $($nine tasks in total$).$ We have already added one task per milestone foryou.Step $4$: Assign task ownersNext, determine who should own each task. When selecting task owners, consider howyour team members jobs relate to the projects tasks. Enter each task owners roleunder the Task Owner column.Note: While more than one person can work on a task, you should assign only oneowner per task.Step $5$: Set start dates, due dates, and durationsNow review the scenario and write the start date for each task under Start Date. Thenenter task due dates under Due Date. Finally, record each tasks duration underDuration.Note: Make sure to exclude weekends when calculating durations.Step $6$: Color code your timelineOn the right side of the chart, under Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three, markthe duration of each task by color$-$coding the cells below the corresponding dates.For example, Task $1\mathrm{.}2$ runs from March $15$th through March $26$th$.$ Weve filled in theboxes that correspond to those dates in the template. Be sure to use the shade of bluethat matches each project phase in the chart.Step $7$: Save and Submit your work on Blackboard
