Project Management and Interim Delivery
OPMA 5364 / INSY 5373: Project Management
Group Project: v1
Instructor: Dr. Michel E. Whittenberg, DBA, PMP
Groups will form in the first class session and provide a copy of the members to me (I will provide the form). There will be no changes in-group membership after the third week of class. Each group will turn in one project with all group members names listed on the cover page. The maximum group size is five persons and should be ethnically diverse. At least one group member must have English as their primary language. Details of the group project are provided below.
The major purpose of the group project is to give you an opportunity to apply and demonstrate your understanding of the tools and principles covered in the class. Projects normally involve a project team, thus the reason for forming a group. You will use the Conveyor Belt Project starting on Page 651 as the framework of your project. You must use MS Project 2010 that I will make available to each of you. Additionally, you will need to use MS Office. Deliverables may not exactly match those listed in the textbook. All interim deliveries will be as attachments to an email to my UTA email account. They must be postmarked before the beginning of class on the day they are assigned in the syllabus. Final deliveries will be discussed later.
Interim Delivery 1: Your project is based on the Conveyor Belt Project. Complete Part 1. Complete
Assignment. In addition to the WBS (.mpp), prepare a Project Scope Statement and duplicate the Project
Priority Matrix (given in textbook). At this stage, the WBS will not have any durations or predecessor relationships. After you enter the WBS into MS project, you need to turn on outlining so the numbering shows like displayed in the lectures. Project Scope Statement can be in MS Word. Project Priority Matrix can be in MS Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. WBS will be in MS Project 2010. Prepare a memo for the VP of
Operations that addresses the three deliverables and answers
