The executive management of an engineering company has assigned your group to develop a project plan for a project (either an existing project or one created by your group) and to write a comprehensive report detailing this plan.
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Select an engineering-based project (either an existing one or one created by you). You will need to provide a detailed description of project, so ensure you spend time researching adequate projects before choosing or creating one. Refer to the project charter document to gain an idea of the level of detail required.
Prepare the following relating to your project:
A full scope (use the project charter document below as a starting point).
A complete Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) including cost and duration estimates for all work packages.
A Gantt chart identifying task interdependencies and milestones.
A complete PERT chart with a clear indication of the critical path and possible slack/float times.
Research and Evaluate best practice, and new and innovative engineering and project management approaches as they relate to organisational and project management in medium and large-scale engineering companies.
Relate these practices back to your chosen project.
Provide recommendations for this case study as informed by your research into best practices (in particular, using project management tools/processes).
