Niagara Falls Trip - Itinerary to provide to parents Time (start) Activity 9:00 am Students meet at the school to register 9:30 am Board the bus Explanations: Registering the children takes 30 minutes according to the WBS Dictionary, so since registration starts at 9:00 am it will finish at 9:30 am and that's when children will all be on the bus. 9:45 am Bus departs for Niagara Falls The departure roll call can start when the children are all on the bus, at 9:30 am. The 15 minutes for roll call means the bus will leave at 9:45 am. 11:15 am Tour starts The tour starts when the bus arrives at Niagara Falls. The drive is 1-1/2 hours, so the bus arrives at 11:15 am and the tour can start at that time. 3:15 pm Board the bus Children can board the bus when the tour ends. The tour is 4 hours long, so it will end at 3:15 pm since it started at 11:15 am. 3:30 pm Bus departs for the school The departure roll call can start when the children are on the bus at the end of the tour, at 3:15 pm. The 15 minutes for roll call means the bus will leave at 3:30 pm. 5 pm Bus arrives at the school The 1-1/2 hour drive back to the school means the bus will arrive at 5 pm.Niagara Falls Excursion Communications Planning The bus will arrive back at the school from Niagara Falls at 5:00 pm. This is later than when the parents normally pick up their children, so they need to be advised to pick up their children at 5:00 pm on the day of the excursion instead of 3:30 pm. Step 8: Time to hire your team! Question: After studying the WBS Dictionary, how many staff do you think you need to hire? AND: Since they are hired on an hourly basis (min. 4 hours), how many hours do you need each of them for? Look at the Staffing Agency's Roster to see a list of the resources available for hire on the day of the Niagara Falls excursion. Based on their qualifications and the requirements of the event's tasks, as well as with a desire to limit costs, review the list and decide who you want to hire.Staffing Agency - Resource Roster Name Certification Other skills Cost/hr Aastha Class G drivers licence & car Attention to detail $25 ECE certified Games & events facilitator Emergency First Aid - CPR-C Patient with children SmartServe Akshat Canadian Red Cross Pool Lifeguard Attention to detail $35 ECE certified Games & events facilitator Emergency First Aid - CPR-A Patient with children SmartServe WHMIS Worksite Safety Training Antoine Class G drivers licence & car Attention to detail $40 ECE certified Games & events facilitator Emergency First Aid - CPR A&C Patient with children Lifesaving Society/YMCA: NL - Waterfront WHMIS Beatriz Canadian Red Cross Assistant Lifeguard Attention to detail $40 Class E drivers licence & car Patient with children Emergency First Aid - CPR-A&C Niagara Parks Tour Guide WHMIS Bentley Class B drivers licence & car Attention to detail 535 ECE certified Games & events facilitator Emergency First Aid - CPR-A&C Patient with children Davida Class G drivers licence & car Attention to detail $24 ECE certified Games & events facilitator Patient with children Lovepreet Emergency First Aid - CPR-A&C Attention to detail 524 SmartServe Patient with children Lifesaving Society Bronze Cross Nelson Class G drivers licence & car Attention to detail $24 ECE certified Games & events facilitator Emergency First Aid - CPR-C Patient with children Sarbpreet Class E drivers licence & car Attention to detail $28 Niagara Parks Tour Guide Patient with children Sourabh Canadian Red Cross Waterfront Lifeguard Attention to detail $40 Emergency First Aid - CPR-C Games & events facilitator SmartServe Patient with children Worksite Safety TrainingExcursion Staffing List & Budget Instructions: Decide what staff members to hire for your team from the Staffing Roster and fill out the table below.

Planning & executing the project Resources: Including estimating resources and acquiring the team. . Planning the project Communication: Determining the most important information to send to the children's parents about the day's scheduleScenario: You have signed a contract to organize a tour to Niagara Falls for a group of 30 Grade 1 students from an elementary school in Mississauga as a school day activity.

Note: This work researching the environmental factors is very important to your project planning. Step 2: Continuing the planning work Based on what you know so far, you have started the project scope & requirements analysis as well as schedule and resource estimating: Here is the WBS Dictionary in its current draft state. (Take as much time as you need to analyze & understand this table.) What is a WBS Dictionary? It is mentioned in the PMBOK on pg. 85.

A Class B licence is required for a school bus with seating for more than 24 students. There are 30 students in the class and they will all go on one bus, so a bus with seating for at least 32 passengers (30 children + 2 supervisors) and a driver with a Class B licence are required.

First Aid CPR = Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation CPR is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. CPR-A is training and practice in how to use CPR on adults and CPR-C is for CPR on children. . Clearly, for the supervisors, CPR-C training is more important than CPR-A in this case, since this excursion involves children. Niagara Parks The Niagara Parks Commission, commonly shortened to Niagara Parks, is an agency of the Government of Ontario which maintains the Ontario shoreline of the Niagara River. You cannot lawfully conduct a tour on the property of The Niagara Parks Commission without obtaining a valid Niagara Parks Guide Licence. Also, a scheduled sightseeing vehicle must have a Niagara Parks licensed guide on board. For more information, visit the Niagara Parks website. ECE This stands for Early Childhood Education. .

I assume that supervising the children will happen continually throughout the trip sol didn't document any precedence between this work package and any of the others. 0 Ididn't ask for any precedence relationships other than F5 in this exercise. But it's worth pointing out the FF relationship here [highlighted in grey]. Work package 3.1 includes putbng the box lunches on the bus for transportation to Niagara Falls {as indicated in the work package description in the WES Dictionary}. 50 3.1 can't nish until the bus has arriyed at the school from the rental depot, which is when work package 2.1 nishes. Therefore this is a FF precedence. with 2.1 as the predecessor. 0 It's not necessary and it's better to avoid noting a precedence relationship that automatically follows from another precedence relationship. For example: 5ince 1.1 has to nish before 1.2 can start. and 1.2 has to nish before 2.2 can start. then automatically 1.1 has to nish before 2.2 can start. but noting it is redundant and it will just make the table more confusing to read. Best practice is to include the minimum necessary amount of information. Step 5: Building the Schedule: Schedule network diagram Using a scrap sheet of paper, draw a Schedule Network Diagram of the work packages listed in the WBS Dictionary. Put a "Start" point at the left margin of the page, an "End" point at the right margin, and then use the reference numbers from the first column in the WBS Dictionary to identify the work packages as the nodes in your diagram.
