Assignment #2 Solution
Use the data spreadsheet provided below to achieve the following:
Assume it has been requested that this project be started on 3/5/18 after the project in Assignment#1 has been started on 2/12/18. This project and the project in Homework#1 will use/share the same resources listed in Assignment#1.
Create a resource pool in MS-Project that will be shared by Homework#1 and Homework#2
Feed the information provided in this handout in MS Project to create the Project Plan and the Network Diagram
Create a WBS with the required phases and activities to complete this project
Assign the Resources to the Tasks making any assumptions you consider appropriate (Software Engineering Assumptions).
What is the earliest finish date for this project if it is scheduled to start on 3/5/18.? (under this scenario, as soon as engineers complete their tasks on Homework#1 you will assign them to start working on tasks for Homework#2 project)
Is it feasible to complete this project (Assignment#2 project) 2 weeks after the completion date you identified for the project in Assignment#1? Explain.
Submit your MS Project Files
Submit your Comments regarding the start and completion dates and resources assignments for the two projects in a PDF document called Analysis.pdf.
The documents in step 8 and 9 shall be saved in a zipped file with name “HW#2- YourLastName, FirstName”.
Resources Available
Important Note: Use the same resources listed in Assignment#1; in essence, Assignment#1 project and Assignment#2 project will share the same resource pool. ONLY assign the needed resources to the tasks; for example writing project plan needs one manager of the available managers, however, you could use all available requirement engineers to work on writing the requirements.
In addition to resources listed in Assignment #1, following resources have been added to the resource pool of available headcounts
There are three project managers PM4, PM5, PM7, available
There are Four requirement engineers RE30,RE31, RE32, RE33
There are three system engineers SE30, SE31, SE32 available
There are five programmers/software engineers PE60, PE61, PE65, PE66, PE67 available
There are three test engineers TE64, TE67, TE69 available
There are three Documentation engineers DE73, DE74, DE75 available
Assumptions and Constraints:
Every review or inspection “meeting” task shall be carried by 5 engineers including ONE of the author(s)
Every review or inspection “preparation” task shall be carried by 4 engineers excluding the author(s)
Any “Rework” task can be executed by one or all authors of the original task
Project Plan shall be reviewed by at least one engineer from every technical area.
Data Model can be created only by system engineers and can be reviewed by any engineer
Lab and Environment Setup Tasks can be assigned and executed by system engineers only.
Task/Activity Dependencies:
It is expected that you will find the correct task dependencies based on the material discussed during class and considering the following constraints:
There is no technical task prior to requirement phase; project planning is not a technical task it is a managerial task.
Analysis Activity can start as soon as requirement document is complete
Design activity can start as soon as Analysis document is complete
Coding can start as soon as design is complete
Writing Test Plan can start as soon as requirements are complete
Executing Test Plan can start as soon as coding is complete
Documentation can start as soon as requirements are complete
Any other constraints that you might add, shall be documented clearly when you submit your homework.
Lab and Environment Setup Tasks must be completed before Coding tasks or text case execution tasks can be started.
