Part B – Project Planning (20%) – Gantt Chart report (added explanations approx. 250 words) Given the importance of your report, develop a one-page project plan in Gantt chart form (as if the project had not commenced) for the 4 month duration. The chart should clearly indicate the critical tasks and the planned end date but ignore progress and resources at this point. Include the Gantt chart as appendix Part B.1. Suggest any tactical options to reduce the project duration to 2.5 months as you have heard rumours that your report might be required with urgency at an earlier date. With this in mind, update your planning and include a second updated Gantt chart as Appendix Part B.2. Part C – Budget creation (20%) – Excel report (added explanations approx. 250 words) Assuming that the project will run perfectly to the schedule outlined by you in Part B.1 with all contract personnel working as defined on the tasks indicated, generate an overall budget planning for your report. You must include: The 2 secretaries and 2 consultants, Accommodation costs at £650 per week inclusive, Your own salary at £ 5,250 p.c.m. (per current month), All new PC hardware (total fixed cost: £35,000) and project planning software (total fixed cost: £27,000), Total miscellaneous fixed costs of £25,000. Create budget positions for meetings, travel costs and other activities at your discretion within the overall budget limit. You also need to include the cost for the roll-out of the new project planning approach for 200 project teams at a cost of 1,000 pounds for each project team (this includes production of a training video, a train-the-trainer programme and a web site for training of the teams with the new planning techniques). Show all calculations and totals via suitable report formats and include as Appendix Part C.1. The agreed total project budget for your report is £850,000. When you discuss this budget on your first day with the Chief Financial Officer (CF)), he is not happy. He requires that you prepare an alternative where total costs are only £650,000. Show all calculations and totals via suitable report formats, and include as Appendix Part C.2.
