Deliverable 2 – Identify Overall Scope and Analyze Unexpected Events

Competency

Analyze project management processes, scope, and the project management life cycle within a range of projects.

Scenario Information

You are assuming the role of the project manager for a company called SuperPacks to provide a new backpack product with a built-in refrigeration pouch and radio module. Your customer for this project is the U.S. Army, Ground Forces and Special Operations. As the project manager for your team, you will be submitting to your manager a project management report.

Instructions

Part I – Project Scope Document

You will take on the role of Project Manager. As such, you will determine the project scope and project schedule for SuperPacks. This task has two parts. In the FIRST part, you will use the

Project Scope Document Template

to develop your project scope document. In the SECOND part, you will use Tab 2 of the

Project Schedule Template

to develop your project schedule and include it with your written analysis. Tab 2 will provide you with the unexpected events information needed to complete your analysis.

Develop the project scope document to include the following information:

Project description
Project assumptions
Project goals
Project constraints (if any)
Project limitations
Project milestones
Project risks (initial assessment)

The Project Scope needs to be developed prior to any analysis of unexpected events.

Part 2 – Analysis of Unexpected Events

In this second part of your task as Project Manager, provide an analysis of unexpected events to your management using the Project Schedule Template (the unexpected events are located in Tab 2 of the document). In your analysis, you should discuss the following:

Four areas affected by these unexpected events.
Three of the areas of the project affected by the events should include changes to the budget, human capital, and impact to schedule.
Identify one additional area affected by these events.

Please help with my homework! Attach are the Project scope Document Template and Project Schedule Template. Thanks and I appreciate it!

About this Template This project schedule can be used to create a basic timeline for your project. Try the Vertex42 Gantt Chart Template if you want to something more automated for creating and managing your project schedule. (See the reference below). How to use this Template 1) Enter your project start date in cell E3. This will automatically update the dates in rows 6 and 7. 2) Add tasks: Choose what phase (row) and week (column) the task will start and enter the task title into that cell. Then fill in the background color of the cells to indicate how long the task will take to complete. If you would like to show the completion status of a task, you can fill the background with a darker or different color (see the Sample worksheet for an example). 3) Add a milestone: If you’d like to show a milestone, you can create a vertical “line” in the schedule by changing the cell borders and the background fill (see the Sample worksheet). Note: In the sample worksheet, the Project End milestone was created by merging cells, turning on Wrap Text, and pressing Alt+Enter after each letter to force each letter onto a new line.
