Stage 2: WBS and Manual Scheduling
Project schedule is referred to as a process that is widely used by the project manager and
other stakeholders widely for managing any of the ongoing projects. In order to functionally
manage, operate and execute any project WBS and project scheduling tools are used. These days
managing large set of information has become a major challenge. Therefore, managing and
handling those data have become an essential role must be played by the assigned project
associates. The purpose of the project is to develop a new information technology centre in
Victoria. The land has been chosen by the project development team cost $40 Million. The
owner company has also invested a capital of $25 Million to accomplish the project. Successful
design and implementation of the project would help the project manager and stakeholders to
obtain commercial revenue and business operational and functional efficiency as well.
In order to reduce the project complexity a work Break down Structure (WBS) and a
detail project schedule has been prepared. As soon as the project schedule is prepared it become
responsibility of assigned resources to accomplish the activities within assigned timeline and
budget. A project calendar is which detects the weekends, start date, finish dates, RDOs and
public holidays as well. In addition to that, an Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS),
Responsibility assignment Matrix (RAM), a logical relationship between the tasks and duration
are also elaborated in this paper. Apart from that, a detail project cost and cost assign for each
activity are illustrated in this paper. Besides this a risk register is also prepared that indicates
potential risks, their possibilities of occurrences and impact in project progress considering the
WBS and RBS. Considering the detail project activities it is determined that, the project will be
completed within a timeframe of 10 months (Starting from 5/14/2019-3/16/2020).
