Two different ideas as likely projects. You will be the project manager for the project--not a team member, but the project must require a group of people to carry it out (at least three human work resources and at least one equipment work resource). Cost resources are optional, but you must care about the budget and timeline of the project. NO BATHROOM REMODEL. Answer following questions for both ideas.
- How does this project meet the criteria for how projects are defined? Don't just define "project" here. Describe aspects of this specific project that make it a unique project with start/end dates.
- describe thebasic flowor process of what would be involved for the project to take place.
- What is an anticipated start date of the project (must be after MAY), and give us an idea of how long the project should take to complete (the anticipated end date). You need specific, actual dates (month, day, year) for both the start and end. Your dates should include the whole project picture: the initiation of the project, preparation to get the project executed, the actual execution of the heart of the project, the follow-through and quality-checking of the project, and finalizing the project.
- Identify the necessary human and equipment resources needed to complete the project. We are not looking for a list of consumable materials here. List each human or type of equipment by name and function. You must identify a minimum of three humans as resources for your project. You are not including yourself as one...you are the project manager, not one of the project team work members. ALSO NOTE: you cannot consider your human resources as volunteers. Everything for your course project must have a realistic monetary value associated with them/it. In the real world, you might have volunteers for something, but in a business there's a cost associated with all labor and all equipment and materials. This is true even if you are using existing employees who are already paid by the company. We still want to know what the company spent in using them on this project...all costs associated with the project. Next to each of your resources, list the cost per hour, approximate hours, and total. Equipment is sometimes priced on a per-use cost instead of hourly. ONE MORE THING: your resources cannot be contracting companies who will do the whole project themselves. You can include sub-contractors individually, person by person, but YOU are then playing the role of the general contractor and including all aspects of planning what those individual sub-contractors are doing on the project. You don't want to set up your project such that anyone other than you is managing any part of it for our course requirement.
- Explain who the primary customer or sponsor of the project is and why it is them...this person (or company) is generally funding the project and ultimately the one who has to be happy with how things turned out. Remember that you are not this person; you also aren't a team member (a resource) working on the project...you are, instead, the project manager who is coordinating the planning and overseeing the execution of the project.
- Describe at least two (2) problems (risks) that could happen along the way...sometimes this is things like weather, delay in materials arriving, unreplaceable resource being unavailable, and other things like that. A good project manager always pre-thinks the kinds of things that could possibly go wrong and tries to have a back-up plan in place (remember that whole back-up computer plan I asked you for at the beginning of the term?).
