Tony Prince and his team working on the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project have been asked to refine the existing cost estimate for the project so they can evaluate supplier bids and have a solid cost baseline for evaluating project performance. Recall that your schedule and cost goals are to complete the project in six months for under $200,000.
TASKS
1. Prepare and save a one-page cost model for the project, similar to the one provided in Figure 7-2. Use the following WBS, and be sure to document assumptions you make in preparing the cost model. Assume a labor rate of $100/hour for the project manager and $60/hour for other project team members. Assume that none of the work is outsourced, labor costs for users are not included, and there are no additional hardware costs. The total estimate should be $200,000.
