Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

In this assignment, you will create a project management plan (PMP) baseline, which includes a scope and a WBS, a project schedule, and a project budget. This assignment has four major elements, along with their individual elements.

For your assignment,

• Develop the scope document in MS Word. The scope document should:
  • Create a scope description consistent with the authority granted in the project charter.
  • List the project deliverables that will enable resolution of the current problems in the current logistics operation.
  • Outline the acceptance criteria for each deliverable.
  • Establish the project’s limitations or boundaries.
  • Summarize the change control process that will be used during the project.
• Create an indented WBS for five to ten intermediate tasks using ProjectLibre.
• Develop a project schedule using the WBS you already created as the starting point. You should complete this using ProjectLibre. The project will start February of Year 0 and should finish in December.
  • Note: Save your project schedule, including the Gantt chart, in ProjectLibre.

The project schedule should:

• Start on February 1st and complete before December 31st of the year you are taking this class. That will be Year 0.
  oIdentify the precursor activities, as necessary.
• Sequence the activities.
• Indicate a single start and end date for each task.
• Create a project budget. You may create the budget in ProjectLibre or in MS Excel.
• If you choose MS Excel:
  • Copy your work from ProjectLibre to MS Excel:
  • Put the cursor in the upper-left box to darken all the columns, use “CTRL C” to copy the ProjectLibre content, and then paste into MS Excel.
  • Add another column for budget. Assign a budget to each task. You have full discretion to develop the budget, subject to the following guidelines:
    • The total budget may not exceed $100,000.
    • Each task must be assigned a budget.
• If you choose ProjectLibre:
  • You have full discretion to develop the budget, subject to the following guidelines:
    • The total budget may not exceed $100,000.
    • Each task must be assigned a budget.
• You may submit the project schedule and the resource breakdown structure separately if you choose.
• Note: Save all your ProjectLibre work in a PDF. You may also save the project WBS and schedule from ProjectLibre in a PDF file and save the budget in MS Excel. Save the project schedule and budget in ProjectLibre and MS Excel, as you will use this information for your Week 3 assignment.

For Week 2, submit the scope MS Word document to Waypoint. Additionally, submit the WBS, project schedule, and budget from ProjectLibre in a PDF or the WBS and Project Schedule from ProjectLibre in a PDF and the budget in a MS Excel document to Waypoint.
