Project Management Assignment: Victoria Construction Pty Ltd Project

This project management assignment focuses on Victoria Construction Pty Ltd, presenting a detailed project schedule analysis. The solution includes two project schedules, represented through Gantt charts, Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), and Activity-on-Node (AON) network diagrams. Task A covers the development of the project schedule, including timelines, durations, dependencies, and resource allocation. Task B involves a modified project schedule, analyzing critical paths and resource constraints. The student addresses questions about project completion time, critical tasks, and the impact of holidays. Task C presents project management blogs, evaluated for a PowerPoint presentation. The assignment offers insights into project initiation, planning, execution, and closure, demonstrating the application of project management principles. The document also includes various figures illustrating the project's timeline and structure.
