Developthe Project Plan. This document communicates the schedule, budget, and resource requirements for the project. The needs of the project will determine which components of the project plan are required. For this assignment, the following elements are required:
- Scope baseline
- Schedule baseline
- Cost baseline
- Performance measurement baseline
Analyzethe Project Plan you developed for any areas where changes can be made that will optimize the schedule for time and cost.
Identifywhich steps you will take to attempt to shorten your project finish date and decrease project costs, using schedule optimization strategies. Update your project plan accordingly.
Note. When you are satisfied that you have done your best to create the most efficient plan possible, save the baseline for the project plan so that you have a point in time to measure progress against and variances can be analyzed as the project progresses.
Referto the rubric provided. Each of the sections of the plan will be evaluated for completeness and quality (i.e., realistic content) as it relates to your project.
