Sequencing Scenario

 

Define activities for a project based on the scenario you choose.

Scenario: You work for a small shipping company and warehouse. The owners have decided to update the software used for tracking, shipping, receiving, and inventory. Fifteen computers need to be updated. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Each computer must be updated manually by one of two trained employees, both of whom must be borrowed from other managers. The update procedure consumes 4 hours of the updaters time and generates an additional 1.5 hours of computer downtime. The work must be performed at a central loading station, away from the current location of the computer.

Include the following:

  • Identify the scope of the project.
  • Define the needs of the stakeholders.
  • Create a WBS for the project.
  • List necessary tools and techniques.
  • List activities, activity attributes, and milestones for the project.
  • Sequence the activities in a chart or diagram.

Submit your chart or diagram.
