...Calcutta’s Metro The major problem facing Project Managers is providing a clear and concise vision of the project details, who’s responsible for what and the initial budget. Without this the project has little or no chance to succeed. With a proper scope statement a project has the foundation for success. In the case of Calcutta’s Metro I believe the major problem was that the Project Manager (PM) didn’t effectively manage the project scope. A project scope according to Pinto is “everything about a project – work content as well as expected outcomes” . Since an effective project scope was not developed the project had multiple problems such as funding, construction plan, site ownership, pressure for stakeholders, and traffic flow just to name a few. The majority of the short term problems like traffic flow and pressure from stakeholders led to the long term problem of been over budget and time. Project Scope Management contains the following; conceptual development, scope statement, work authorization, scope reporting, control systems, and project closeout . Any one of these elements if properly managed and executed would have help with the success of the project. During the conceptual development the project team would have used brainstorming events that would have identified any problems to considered and plan for. With a scope statement the project team would have had a clean picture of what the project was, initial budget and responsibilities. The PM could have...

...CDC UNIFIED PROCESS PRACTICES GUIDE PROJECT SCOPE PLANNING Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the practice of Project Scope Planning and to describe the practice overview, requirements, best practices, activities, and key terms related to these requirements. In addition, templates relevant to this practice are provided at the end of this guide. Practice Overview Each project’s product and/or service is unique and requires its own careful balance of practices, processes, tools and techniques, etc. to ensure the required work is completed as agreed upon by key project stakeholders. The sum of these along with the product and/or service to be delivered by the project is known as the project’s scope. Getting key parties to agree upon what is the scope of the project’s work is known as project scope planning. The practice of project scope planning is a key management practice for planning and delivering projects successfully. Project scope includes high level features or capabilities that the business team has committed to delivering to a customer as well as those they have not committed to delivering. Project scope is often defined by executive sponsor, steering committee, project sponsor, and the project’s customer with input from other appropriate stakeholders.

The project will consist of the Huntsville plant construction effort, the details of which are in the "project tabs" in the course shell for each week's assignment This course project assignment follows the Huntsville project from a Project Charter (where the effort is initially approved), through the Project Scope Statement (where the scope is elaborated in more detail), through the WBS (where the major tasks and sub-tasks are documented), and finally to a completed project schedule in Microsoft Project, with resources and costs added in. Along the way we also complete a Risk Plan and a Communications Plan for the Huntsville project, and deal with scheduling and resource issues, all normal and customary actives in most project environments. However all a bit mysterious to the uninitiated! So I'm going to try and walk you through all of that with these Part-1 through Part-5 instruction documents. Please do listen to the Course Project Tour Video (in the Course Home/Course Project tab). It lays out in summary all the deliverables for the Course Project. Since the effort is worth 25% of your grade, you really need to understand what we are asking for and when all the pieces are due! As you complete this course project effort, remember; think of this as a set of business communications as well as a class assignment. In part this...

...Final Project: System Upgrade Scenario Smith Systems Consulting has been providing Web and Business Application services since 1994. During nearly 20 years of business, Smith Systems Consulting’s systems have required several upgrades. This scenario is meant to detail their most recent upgrade and will assume that much of the infrastructure is in place (i.e. networking cable is either Cat5e or Cat6, networking devices such as hubs, switches, routers, and wireless access points are in place and firmware is current, hardware such as printers and scanners are capable of supporting current and future needs; monitors, input devices, and workstation PC’s are capable of supporting current software requirements) and will focus on new hardware such as servers as well as new or updated software. The desired result of this project is to maintain both client and internal data security and integrity and ensure there is as little interruption to Smith Systems Consulting and their clients’ workflow as possible. A project team has been selected from within and has been tasked with planning and implementing this project. Before the project can begin, time must be spent in the planning phase. By not planning how the project will advance, resources such as time, money, and man-hours will be wasted. The members of the team must research the business implications, perform a SWOT analysis, identify the stakeholders, prepare a scope statement and SOW, and provide specific details of what the...
