Question description
Assignment 3: Execution,
Control, and Closure
Note: Please use the project from Assignments 1
and 2 to complete this assignment.
In Assignment 2, you
have created a project plan / network by way of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
It is now the time to turn your attention to execution and control. The term
“control” refers to monitoring the project allowing for assessing the progress
and preparing the status report at any desirable interval / time.
Homework help – Write an eight to ten
(8-10) page paper in which you:
Determine the major project milestones and the required
delivery dates. Analyze why each milestone is critical to the project.
Document the main assumptions and exclusions (taken
from scope statement), dependencies, risks, and any other major issues of
the project. Select the top-three (3) important risks of the project, and
suggest approaches to address those risks. Hint: mitigation,
avoidance, acceptance or transfer.
Explain the techniques of reducing project duration,
and determine if any is applicable to your project. If so, expand on the
technique to be used. If not, explain as to why no technique is
applicable.
Define the control process and describe the control
steps. Be sure to expand on the description of Baseline Plan and Measuring
the Progress and Performance using an Earned Value (EV) system.
Describe Cost Variance and Schedule Variance. Then,
assume that your project is at the half-way point, time-wise. Assuming
that you have your baseline budget (PV) in hand, imagine or make up the
Actual Cost (AC), and based on the available information, assess the
project status with regard to cost and schedule.
Explain the project closure process, and describe the
major considerations for closing your project, smoothly.
