• Create a WBS for this project and enter the tasks in Project 2010. Create milestones and summary tasks. Assume that some of the project management tasks you need to do are similar to tasks from the Project Tracking Database example (in the guide to MS Project 2010). Some of the tasks specific to this project will be to:
• Review off-the-shelf training materials from three major vendors and decide which materials to use.
• Negotiate a contract with the selected vendor for its materials.
• Develop communications information about this new training program. Disseminate the information via department meetings, e-mail, the company’s intranet, and flyers to all employees
• Create a survey to determine the number and type of courses needed and employees’ preferred times for taking courses.
• Administer the survey.
• Solicit qualified volunteers to teach the courses.
• Review resumes, interview candidates for teaching the courses, and develop a list of preferred instructors.
• Coordinate with the Facilities department to build two classrooms with 20 personal computers each, a teacher station, and an overhead projection system (assume that Facilities will manage this part of the project).
• Schedule courses.
• Develop a fair system for signing up for classes.
• Develop a course evaluation form to assess the usefulness of each course and the instructor’s teaching ability.
• Offer classes.
