MBA642 Project: Creating a Project Schedule for Family Relocation

This project schedule outlines the relocation of a family from Maroochydore, Queensland, to Perth, Western Australia. The schedule, created for an MBA642 assignment, details the tasks required for the move, including packing, transportation of furniture and goods, booking flights and accommodation, securing school enrollment for the children, and the commencement of a new job. The project incorporates a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and a Gantt chart to visualize the timeline, dependencies, and resource allocation. The schedule spans from the initial preparation to the final move-in, considering all aspects of the relocation process, including hiring trucks and human resources, booking cargo flights, godown and hotel, and the completion of all necessary arrangements for a smooth transition. The assignment demonstrates the application of project management principles in a real-world scenario, providing a comprehensive plan for successful relocation.
