Create a Gantt chart based on your best guess as for durations, hours worked, hourly costs, etc. Assume you have 4-6 resources working on the project, and the project duration is 3-5 months. The project starts in March (choose any day).

Assume you are working on the project at SAS Viya, which provides AI-based automation solutions that align to their clients' team needs and talents, keeping both models and progress in motion across the analytics life cycle (for details about the company, go to https://www.sas.com/sk_sk/software/viya.html#/).

SAS Viya has the following capabilities:

They have different types of customers. Assume that you are creating business analytics solutions for SMB (small and medium size businesses), which you can find at https://www.sas.com/sk_sk/industry/small-midsize-business.html#ca7dc795-7a8d-4e4d-9355-3ab38302e813. They are:

Explore each of the above 5 SMB offerings in detail and create a Gantt chart for this solution. For example, SAS Analytics has 2 work packages: SAS Office Analytics and SAS Visual Analytics. Each comes with a brief description, which will help you create a couple tasks. Or you can click on the "work package" for more information about what it is to brainstorm a couple tasks.

The assignment has to be in MS Project 2019; using any other software will lead to a grade of 0.

If you're not clear about the relationship between project duration and labour/work hours (effort) and what causes resource overallocation, these 3 videos on fixed units, work units, etc. will help: Work and Duration in Microsoft Project (ablesim.com)

Starting with this assignment, I will be deducting marks for overallocated resources (the videos above will help you avoid that issue), monitoring & controlling tasks that start after the project work has been completed (they should overlap Executing at the least), for the total project duration that is too long/short (when the instructions say 2 months, for example, we mean 2 calendar months and not 46 days in the Duration column).
