SBM1201 Project Management: Unit Project Part B - Software Failures

This assignment delves into project management principles, specifically focusing on the Essendon & Buckley Street level crossing removal project and potential software failures. It meticulously outlines project activities from initiation to closure, including identifying objectives, conducting feasibility studies, and appointing team members. The assignment details dependencies and sequences of activities, resources required, and durations for each task. A bar chart visually represents the project timeline, and the critical path is identified to ensure timely completion. Furthermore, the assignment includes a work breakdown structure (WBS), project completion milestones, a comprehensive budget, and a cost-benefit analysis. Resource allocation is clearly defined in a resource sheet, providing a complete overview of the project's planning and execution phases. Desklib offers a wealth of similar solved assignments and past papers for students seeking additional resources.
