Based on the above scenario , create the following materials for your Case Study
Question 1: An activity schedule that includes the milestones and tasks for the project from kickoff to completion. identify at least 3 milestones (not including kickoff and closeout) and each of these 3+ milestones must have at least 2 tasks associated with it. In addition, each task should have an estimated duration (either in hours, days, or weeks) attached as part of the activity schedule.
Question 2: A list of required resources to complete the tasks and accomplish the milestones that are identified in the activity schedule. identify at least 1 of each type of resource (personnel, equipment, materials, and services) and each resource must be associated with at least 1 task listed in your activity schedule
Question 3: A list of risks identified based on the activity schedule and list of required resources and a short overview of how one will address that risk. also identify at least 3 risks (at least 1 of which must be positive) and must use each of the 3 risk response strategies (avoid, mitigate, accept) at least once when describing how the risks will be addressed
Question 4: For each section-activity schedule, list of required resources, and risk identification and response plan- include things about explaining thought process in putting the material together. What assumptions did one make?
