For part A of the assessment you must complete the following tasks and questions. Read all the
questions before you commence the tasks. The schedule is to be developed in an appropriately
named Microsoft Project 2010 file (see below) and the questions are to be answered in a Word
document. As stated above, any assumptions must also be listed at the beginning of the Word
document.
1. Ms. Marketing has asked you to use Microsoft Project to develop the project schedule. Note
that she has also asked you to include the milestones at the end of the task list in your
schedule.
Based on the information in the case study description above, use Microsoft Project 2010 to
produce a “Part A” schedule. Make sure that you:
a) Include the milestones at the end of the task list.
b) Include the resource allocation details on the schedule.
c) Have an appropriate project name as the top of the task list and have all other tasks
indented below this heading.
d) Make sure that the holidays described in the “general information” are not included in
the available working days for your project.
e) Use the Microsoft Project software to make sure that the critical path(s) are
automatically highlighted as red bars on the Gantt chart view of your schedule.
At this point there may be resource over allocation issues. Do not attempt to resolve these
before answering question 2. Save this version of your schedule in CQVideoPartA1.mpp.
You will be required to submit this file as part of your assignment submission.
2. List the tasks that are on the critical path(s) of the project.
3. Create a copy of CQVideoPartA1.mpp in another file called CQVideoPartA2.mpp. If there
were any resource over-allocation issues resolve these in this new CQVideoPartA2.mpp file.
Note that you must resolve any resource over-allocation issues without the addition of any
additional resources. Save the “modified” version of CQVideoPartA2.mpp. You will also be
required to submit this file as part of your assignment submission.
a) How did you/would you resolve any resource over-allocation issues without adding
additional resources?
b) What impact did the resource constraints have on your schedule?
