You are stepping in to replace a project manager

You are stepping in to replace a project manager who has had to leave abruptly. She tells you that the following is true of the software development project that you're about to assume responsibility for: The project is responsible to stand up 24 unique web pages - each with a unique functionality (serving a specific business unit). After consulting w/ the project team, they committed to complete 2 web pages per month (completing all web pages in 12 mo). Each web page cost is planned at $100.00 > After 9 months of work, the team has completed 20 of the 24 web pages. CPI currently stands at .9091 1. Assuming that the COST variance experienced so far in the project will continue, how much more money will it take to complete the project? A. $400 B. $440 C. $2800 D. $2840 Hint: The answer to this question is determined by taking the Budget At Project Completion (BAC) and dividing it by CPI and then subtracting Actual Costs. You know from the information given in the introduction the BAC (it is the #web pages x cost per page). You were given CPI. In question #2 you figured actual cost. Simply do the math for the answer. 2. Your project sponsor wants to know from you the percentage of the project that is COMPLETE. What should you report? A. 75% B. 83% C. 92% D. 95% Hint: The Budget at Completion (BAC) is easily known from the information at the top (it's the # of web pages you were to build times the cost each). Once you have that value, the formula to calculate the answer to this problem is (EV/BAC) x 100%. (Remember you calculated EV in question #2) Have them fill out a RACI chart like the slide entitled RACI. For week 5 they can fill out a Cause & Effect Diagram
