  • "INFORMATION SYSTEMPROJECTTask 11. Task 1: a The tasks of the project weregiven in the requirement document. The MS project file iscreated by using the given tasks or activities. The task table in MS project is shown in the belowfigure. Duration is also provided in the document. All the tasks are scheduled with start date andfinish date by choosing the auto schedule option. Assume, that the project is started on 1 Apr2016. The project management tool calculates the finish date of the project automatically. Thisproject will be finished on 1 Sep 2016. First, go to the Gantt chart task page. Then, arrange the tasks on that page. First, the taskpage will be available in the default manual schedule. Then, change the task table to autoschedule as shown below. After that, select the auto schedule option and the task table is changed as shown below.The above screenshot also showed the duration of each task. The days are allocatedautomatically when we select the auto schedule. Then, go to the resource sheet. For that, select the Gantt chart that is available in the topleft corner. Then select the resource sheet in the dropdown list. The screenshot is as shownbelow: The resources are add in the resource sheet. Resource cost is also added in the sheet asper the requirement document.Resource table is as shown below. Add the resources on theresource table in MS project software. The resources are provided in the requirement document.Then, the cost of each resource is also mentioned in the document. Cost is added in the columnof Std. Rate. Resources are added in the task table.Then, allocate the resources on the task table. The cost of each task is addedautomatically as per the resources involved in the tasks. The below table represents the tasks aswell as the resource allocation. After allocation of resources, the resource table produces the conflicts. If, any overallocation of resources is available on the task table, it will produce the resource conflicts on theresource table.The below table finds out the resource conflicts that occurred in the resourceallocation. The below histogram shows the project planning activities with the allocation of the resources.Then, go to the project menu and select the Project Information and then select the staticsbutton. It will open the below window. It is used to view the total budget cost of the project. 2. Task 1: b The above project information file is attached below. This shows the resource conflictsoccurred in the project schedule.ProjectManagement Report Task1 a.mpp 3. Task 1: c Resource levelling is a process to avoid the problem in over allocation of resources. Thisprocess contains two ways to allocate the resources. They are automatic levelling and manuallevelling. Automatic levelling process allocates the resources without occurrence of conflicts. The below image shows the over allocation of activities with red color. Go to theResource menu and click the Level all option as shown below. Then, the project managementtool allocates the resources automatically without the resource conflicts.After the process of resourcelevelling, the finish date of the project is changed from 1 Sep2016 to 26 Oct 2016. This table is as shown below. The Gantt chart is also changed as per the duration, start date and finish date of eachactivities. This changes are made by the resource levelling process. The cost of the project was not changed at the time of resource levelling. The belowwindow shows the total cost estimated for the project.The software file of task 1 (c) is attached below.Task1 c.mpp4. Task 1: d The project file of task 1 (b) is used to do this work. This file contains, over allocation ofresources. As per the requirement document, add three more resources additionally in theresource table. This table is as shown below. Add the workers as resources and group them indepartments.Then allocate the resource to the tasks based on the department allocation. The belowtable shows the resource allocation in task table. Still, these resources have over allocation. Themanually scheduled resource levelling do not provide the right solution to the resource overallocation problem. This additional resources did not affect the start and end date of the project.It affected the total budget of the project.In histogram diagram, the changes are made in the name of the resources only.The below statics window shows the total budget of the project. The estimated cost ischanged from $141840 to $ 200240.The software file of task 1 (d) is attached below.Task1 d.mpp 5. Task 1: e I will choose Automatic levelling method to avoid over allocation of the resources. Thisallocation provides levelling the resources as no conflicts. Then, it did not affect the total budgetof the project. Project finish date only is changed in the resource levelling process. But, in themanual resource levelling method, it still creates the over allocation problem. Also, it changedthe total estimated cost as high.Task 2Task 2: After performing the resource levelling process, if the finance director wants to add theadditional cost as mentioned above, then it will be changed in the project management tool.Insurance is one of the resource and it will add as material resource in resource table.Go to the resource sheet and add the insurance resource as material like shown in belowfigure.The above changes affects the cost on the task table.

The total cost of budget table is also changed from $ 141840 to $ 145590.Then the hiring of professional printer is added as the work resource in the resource tableand mentions the cost as $425 per day. The below table shows the changed resource table as perthe task 2. The above changes affect the cost on the task table. In task 18 Project Documentation,extra cost $1700 is added. It makes the total amount as $6980. The table is as shown below. The total cost of budget table is also changed from $ 145590 to $147290. The resource table and the task tables are attached below.The below table shows the changes in the cost of task 11 and task 18.
