Introduction
The purpose of this assignment is to plan and execute a shifting project for a family. The
relocation project is complex since the family need to vacate their current property, way in
advance. There are four members in the family, with two children. The family has a dog. For
relocation, a four bedroom flat is already rented in Perth. However, it is essential for the family
to vacate the property way before than they can move to the new house. Thus, the project plan is
prepared considering all the major aspects and constraints in the project. The variances and the
constraints in the project are considered in development of the project schedule. The report
discusses the project overview, the criteria and the assumptions, the list of tasks along with the
adjustments made. The project details are evaluated in the following paragraphs.
1. Overview of the Scenario
The project aims in shifting a family to Perth. The family consists of two adults, Jeff and
Kelly with their two children Lexie and Will. The family has a dog and two cars. Currently the
family is living in a two bedroom rental apartment in Maroochydore and will be moving to their
new house in Perth on 27th January 2019. The main problem behind this relocation is that the
family has to vacate their current property on 20th January 2019. The new job of Jeff starts on 5th
February 2019. In order to ensure that the entire relocation is smoothly completed including the
transfer of all the goods, the family has hired a packers and movers company that will help them
in moving all the goods including their car. After vacating the current property and prior to
moving to the new house, the family needs to stay in a hotel and for that the family needs to pre
book a hotel way in advance. This, is necessary since the family has no relative in Sunshine
Coast. Apart from that, the family needs to apply for admission of their kids to a school in Perth..

The relocation project has certain operational complexities and therefore, the budget set for the
project is $15,000. Kelly and Jeff needs to plan and manage the entire relocation project on their
own. A plan for relocation is developed considering the complexity and the budget constraints
associated with the project.
The family can move to their new house in 27th of January and therefore, a project plan is
developed accordingly. The school term in Perth commences from 31st January and for that Jeff
and Kelly needs to complete all the works on or before 30th January 2019. It is mandatory for Jeff
and Kelly to attend their children’s school and therefore, the entire shifting is completed before
31st January 2019.
The details about the exception and the assumptions associated with the project is
highlighted in the section below.
