hierarchy. Number the WBS codes so that the level of each
activity is clearly identified. Do not worry about indentation.

state department of transportation has decided to proceed with
the design and construction of a new highway. However, prior
to starting design work, a funding proposal must be prepared

that justifies the design and construction expense. If the
proposal is approved, a detailed survey will be performed on
the proposed right of way (ROW). After the survey is
completed, ROW clearance activities will be performed that
include utility relocation, easement acquisition, and
environmental investigations and cleanup.
Design activities generally proceed concurrently with the ROW
clearance activities, and close communication between the two
groups is essential. Design activities
start with an agreed-upon statement of project objectives.
Subsequent activities include traffic management and safety
planning, preliminary design, and final design.
After design activities are completed, a formal request for
construction funding is submitted, a project manager is
selected, and a construction contractor is selected.

For this Course Project, you may choose a project that is of
interest to you, or you may choose one to assist you in your
senior project. When selecting a project, avoid picking one that
is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to
build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to
plant your summer garden (too small). Projects may vary from
a few hundred thousand dollars to a few million dollars.
Projects should last somewhere between 6 months and 2 years.
Be sure your selection is an actual project and not routine
work. Pick a project you have some experience and familiarity.
Do not pick a topic, such as a construction project, unless you
understand construction well.
I suggest you negotiate with your instructor this week until the
two of you agree on a reasonable project for this Course
Project. Do not begin work on a project charter until the
instructor has approved your project idea. Good luck and have
fun!

Week 3 Project Guidelines Microsoft Project
Congratulations! You have just completed the project charter
and scope statement. Now that you know what needs to be
done, as the Project Manager, you are now ready to begin
planning your project schedule.
This week, you will have two deliverables to complete for the
project.
Using MS Project, create a project schedule and align
resources—35 points
Analyze project schedule and resource allocation: two essay
questions—20 points
Please provide these two deliverables (MS Project file and MS
Word document) to the Week 3 Dropbox. Please refer to the
course Syllabus for your due date.
To help guide you through these deliverables, please follow the
three step process below.
Step 1: Update MS Project with Resource Information
The following steps should be followed when setting up your
Course Project with Microsoft Project 2013.

Set the basic project information
Open MS Project.
Click on the File button (top left), select Save as and enter the
file name as (your name) cp1. For example, SmithJanecp1.mpp.
Click on the Project tab and select Project Information. In the
Project Information dialogue box, set the start date of your
project.
Leave other dates as is. Click on OK.
Set basic Gantt chart format (use also for tracking Gantt chart
view).
Right click on the mouse in the gray area of the Gantt chart on
the right side of the screen where the dates in month and days
are for the menu and select Timescale.
In the Timescale dialogue box:
Select the Middle Tier tab set Units to Quarters.
Select the Bottom Tier tab set Units to Months.
Click on OK.
Setup the default task units to weeks
Click the File tab, and then click Options.
In the Project Options dialog box, click Schedule.
Under Scheduling options in this project, set the following.
New tasks created select Auto Scheduled
Duration is entered in select Weeks
Default task type select Fixed Duration
Click OK to close the dialog box.
Set up the Resource Sheet. Once you have set the defaults, we
are ready to move on. If you have not done so already, you need
to create the project’s work packages and activities from the
Project’s WBS. Once this is done, insert your project name,
deliverables, work packages, and activities in the column Task
Name in MS Project.
Enter the task durations in the Duration Column.
Enter the predecessor(s) for each task in the predecessors
column. If there is no duration or predecessor listed, leave the

column blank. Note: If you do not see the Predecessors Column,
move the vertical line between the Entry Form and the Gantt
chart to the right to reveal the column. Click on the line and
drag to move it. Columns can be expanded or contracted
individually to accommodate information the same way column
width is adjusted in MS Excel.
Analyze your Schedule and Network Diagram
To see the network diagram, click on View, then select Network
Diagram. Activities on the Critical Path are outlined in red,
while noncritical path activities are outlined in blue. You will
need this information to answer the essay question in Step 3.
Step 2: Allocate Resources
Once you have the WBS created in MS Projects, you need to
assign resources to each activity. Remember only assign
resources to activities, not other items on the WBS. Before you
can do this, you need to create a resources sheet in MS Projects.
To create a Resource sheet, click on View, Resource Sheet.
Enter the Resource name, whether it is a human resource, a
cost, or a material. Once this is finished, one can tie these
resources to individual activities. Don’t worry about costs, as
that is next week’s work.
To assign your resources to the aligned tasks in MS Project,
follow the steps below.
Assign hourly resources and costs to the tasks that you have
already entered.
Choose View—Gantt Chart. Place active window on the first
task.
Click on the Double Headed icon on the upper tool bar (Assign
Resources), or click Alt-F10.
In the resource assignment window, select the appropriate
resource for each activity.
Repeat for all resources and activities according to the
Resource List above.
Analyze Your Resource Allocation and Assignments

There are several methods to check for over-allocated
resources.
Click onView, Resource Sheet—Resource(s) in red color are
over-allocated.
Click onView, Resource Usage—Resource(s) in red color are
over-allocated resource(s) by date.
Click onProject, Reports. A dialog box appears, click on
Assignments then Select. Then click the report for
Overallocated Resources, and then Select to print or view.
Remember with resources you need to assign how much time
(by a percentage) each resource will be allocated to each
activity. Simply lowering a given percentage may clear an over-
allocation, but in real life this is not possible. One must come up
with a better method do clear resource over-allocations.
You will need this information to answer the essay question in
Step 3.

Question 1. (TCO B) A TCP/IPv4 address looks like
Question 2. (TCO B) The newer form of IP, version
6 (Ipv6),

Step 3 Answer the Following Essay Questions
Answer the Following Essay Questions
Now that your project schedule has been created, your
resources have been loaded, and your resource costs have been

make sense? (15 points)
What can be done to lower the budget and reduce the project's
duration? (15 points)
Formulate the above responses into a two- to three-page essay
report. Remember, the report must be to a level of clarity and
depth that would be readily understood by the executive
management. Do support your analysis with both in-text
citation and references from the textbook, The PMBOK® Guide,
or other juried sources. Include a cover sheet and a reference
