Assignment Instructions:

The purpose ofthis assignment it to identify project scope and develop an IT project schedule. You will use Microsoft Project and Excel to complete this assignment. Refer to Appendix A in the textbook for guidance in using Microsoft Project. Part 1 Complete the "Work Breakdown Structure Template\" using the information from the project charter and other relevant information from the Chapter 4 "Running Case." Break the work down to Level 3 or Level 4, as appropriate for the project. Enter the work breakdown structure (WBS) in Microsoft Project by creating a new Microsoft Project file titled "Global Treps Project Rev 0." Part 2 1. Use the "Global Treps Project Tasks" template to create the work breakdown structure for the new Microsoft Project file. then save as Rev 1 for the assignment. 2. Use the "Global Treps Project Durations Template" to compute the program evaluation review technique (PERT) weighted average durations (in days) for the lowest level tasks for the Global Treps project. Round answers to the nearest whole number. 3. Edit the Microsoft Project file and call it "Global Treps Project Rev 1." Manually enter the PERT weighted average durations you calculated into the "Duration\" field in the Microsoft Project file. Do not copy and paste this information from the "Global Treps Project Durations Template" file. 4. Assume that you have previously met with your team to identify the immediate predecessors for each lowest level task and that this information has been recorded in the "Global Treps Project Predecessor Template.\" Using the information in the "Global Treps Project Predecessor Template,\" assign the required predecessors to each lower level task in the "Global Treps Project Rev 1\" Microsoft Project file. Note that every lowest level task, with the exception of the first task, should have a predecessor and a successor, with the exception of the last task. 5. Ensure that "Summary\" tasks (bold tasks) do not have predecessors or successors assigned to them. 6. In the Microsoft Project "Global Treps Project Rev 1" file. indicate the critical path for the Global Treps Project. 7'. Submit the "Work Breakdown Structure Template." \"Global Treps Project Durations Template," the "Global Treps Project Rev 0," and \"Global Treps Project Rev 1\" Microsoft Project files.

The team members will work together and divide the tasks to ensure that the project is completed on time and within the set budget. The project manager will Project Charter Template supervise the project and report on its progress. Directions: Complete the template below based on the project specifics. Project Title: Global Treps Project Project Start Date: 5/29/2023 Projected Finish Date: 6/03/2023 Roles and Responsibilities: Budget Information: $130,000 Name and Signature Role Position Contact Information Kayla Project Manager IT XXX-XXX-XXXX Project Manager: (include name, phone, and e-mail) Bobby Developer IT 111-111-1111 Kayla Brown, 602-xxx-xxxx, Kbrown.csec@gmail.com Ashok Quality Analyst IT 222-222-2222 Kim Adviser Non-IT 333-333-3333 Project Objectives: Alfreda Documenter Non-IT 444-444-4444 Develop a non-profit organization and a mobile-friendly website/application to assist groups in organizing shark-tank like events and promote entrepreneurship Comments: (Handwritten or typed comments from above stakeholders, if applicable) Increase economic empowerment in low-income communities, increase access to the latest products and services, and spark more successful entrepreneurs in the world. Collect donations from potential investors, accept ideas from potential entrepreneurs, provide guidelines for running stakeholder-like events, and provide the ability for organizations to create their own custom sites. Create a mechanism to ensure that a percentage of the donations and profits from successful ventures will be donated back to the organization. Success Criteria: The website/application must run on existing hardware and software, require minimal technical support, be easily accessible by employees, and be protected from unauthorized users. The project must be completed within the agreed-upon timeline and within the budget of $130,000. The objectives stated must be achieved upon completion of the project. Approach:Economic inequality is a huge issue. A recent study found that the world's 80 wealthiest individuals own as much as the entire world's poorest 3.5 billion people. The richest 1 percent ofthe world's population control half of the world's total wealth. '* Many individuals, corporations, charities, and government agencies have projects and programs in place to attempt to tackle this and other important global issues such as sustainability, but there are many opportunities to do more. A grassroots group of college students has decided to work together to do their part in making the world a better place. The students are from many different countries, and several of them met at global conferences, through study abroad experiences, or on various Internet groups. Strategic goals of this group include developing skills for both college students and for needy populations, sharing information on existing products and services that promote economic growth and sustainability, and promoting entrepreneurship. Leaders of this group were reviewing some ideas for projects [all with a significant 1T component) that they could do to support their strategic goals: 1. Global Treps: Many people are familiar with the television show called Shark Tank where entrepreneurs [sometimes called \"treps\") present their business ideas to a group of investors or sharks. Several colleges, high schools, and even elementary schools throughout the world hold unique versions of a shark tank like event. You believe that creating a non-profit organization with one central mobile-friendly website/application to assist groups in organizing these types of events would spark even more entrepreneurs throughout the world. You would plan to hold several shark tank like events during the term ofthe project and create a site and applications to help continue developing more global treps. This site/application would include the following capabilities: 0 Provide guidelines and templates for running a shark tank type of event. 0 Accept donations from potential investors targeted toward specific schools or organizations wishing to host an event [similar to the popular mvwdonorschooseorg site where people can fund teacher's requests]. 0 Accept ideas for needed new products or services. 0 Provide the ability for organizations to create their own custom site to solicit local participants and sharks, accept applications, and promote the winners as well as losers. 0 Research ideas for a mechanism where a certain percentage of all donations and profits earned by contestants are donated back to the Global Treps organization. 0 Provide an online version ofthe events by showing videos of contestants and live reactions ofthe sharks while also getting live inputs and donations from viewers. 2. Change the Laws Campaign: Launch a global campaign to change laws to reduce further income inequality and promote social responsibility. This project would also involve creating a mobile- friendly website/application that would include information about current and proposed laws, allow discussions of potential ideas to change laws, organize people to contact appropriate lawmakers, etc. 3. Wealthy Unite: Develop a system to enable the richest people in the world to provide their input on how they can make the world a better place. Provide information on what several people are currently doing (i.e., Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, famous celebrities, etc.) to promote philanthropy. Allow others to donate to suggested causes and recommend other ways to reduce economic inequality. 4. Global Smart Shoppers: Develop a mobile app and website that recommends products and services produced by organizations that promote social responsibility. Customize the app so it works in any country in the user's desired language. Work with large companies that do not currently sell products or services in certain countries to expand to regions in need. Allow small companies to easily add their products and services to the shopping network. \fWork Breakdown Structure Template Directions: Complete the template using information from the project charter.
