Assessment brief
Projects generally do not go to plan. In this task you are required to update the milestone plan and schedule (completed in Assessment 2) and provide your client with a Progress Report, based on information in this brief. This information advises you of potential problems for your case scenario and you will need to consider how to address these issues.
Requirement
Prepare a Progress Report for submission to the family (as your client). The report needs to include:
1. an Introduction outlining the purpose of the report and what is contains;
2. the project status detailing completions, slips and delays;
3. implications of any changes made on the resources required to complete the project;
4. details of all adjustments made to the schedule, and why you made these adjustments; and
5. a personal reflection on the process. Appendices:
6. an updated milestone plan (as an appendix)
7. an updated task list (as an appendix) and who is responsible for each task
8. a revised Gantt chart (as an appendix)
Current Case Scenario You are a family of two adults (Kelly & Jeff). You have two children (Will aged 7 & Lexie aged 12), two cars and a dog (Buddy). Jeff recently secured a new position as a Marketing Director interstate and now needs to move the family to Perth. Currently, the family live in a two bedroom rental apartment in Maroochydore, on the Sunshine Coast, Qld. The relocation will be to a rented four bedroom suburban house in Perth (already secured). Jeff starts his new job on 5 February, 2019 and they need to vacate their current property on 20th January, 2019. The new rental in Perth commences on 27th January, 2019.
Project Update
1. Australia has been hit by the worst flu epidemic in years. Unfortunately, Kelly has become ill and cannot undertake any assigned tasks. Her doctor has ordered bed rest for two weeks (commencing 15th January).
2. The Removalist has advised that the truck carrying Jeff & Kelly's belongings has broken down in South Australia, in a remote area near the border of Western Australia, and it will take 3 days for the needed repairs to be made; thereby delaying the arrival of the furniture in Perth until 30th January.
3. Because of the Australia Day celebrations in Perth, flights into Perth are limited, and there is little available accommodation. (Note: any accommodation planned, must be vacated by 27 January, 2019).
Solve for these variances.
