Victoria University EPM5700 Assignment 2: WBS and Manual Scheduling

This project management assignment, created for Victoria University's EPM5700 course, presents a detailed project execution plan for building an Information Technology Center. The solution includes a project calendar, work breakdown structure (WBS), organization breakdown structure (OBS), and a responsibility assignment matrix (RAM). It outlines tasks, durations, and logical relationships, visualized through a Gantt chart. The assignment provides a cost estimation based on the WBS, a comprehensive risk register, and a schedule for subcontractors. Key elements involve initiation, planning, design, testing, and closing phases, encompassing land acquisition, resource allocation, and infrastructure configuration. The project addresses potential risks such as land acquisition challenges, resource scarcity, project delays, increasing costs, and political and market risks, along with mitigation strategies. The project culminates in stakeholder sign-off and post-maintenance planning, demonstrating a structured approach to project management principles.
