1. Open Workbench By Wilmer Arellano Spring 2008

2. Statement Of Work (SOW) A statement of work (SOW) is a document used in the Project Development Life Cycle. Certain areas that need to be addressed are as follows: –Scope of Work, Describes the work to be done in detail and specifies the hardware and software involved and the exact nature of the work to be done. –Location of Work, Describes where the work is to be performed. Specifies location of hardware and software and where people will meet to perform the work. –Period of Performance, This specifies the allowable time for projects, such as start and finish times. –Deliverables Schedule, This part list the specific deliverables, describing what and when it is due. –Who is responsible for what.

3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) The WBS is the hierarchical list of the project's phases, tasks and milestones –Phase: A group of related tasks that completes a major step in a project. –Task: An activity that has a beginning and an end. Project plans are made up of tasks. –Milestone: A reference point marking a major event in a project and used to monitor the project's progress. Scope: The combination of all project goals and tasks, and the work required to accomplish them. –The scope translates into the timeline and budget. Budget: The estimated cost of a project. http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/assistance/HA011361531033.aspx#Step%201

4. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) This is what we want Deliverables based WBS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_breakdown_structure#Example_of_a_work_breakd own_structure

5. Example

7. This is just an example, you can customize as you like.

8. In Favorites Gantt Charts, double-click the little square and enter: A new Phases with: Name Category And ID Make sure to select phase

9. The first phase has been created

10. In Favorites Gantt Charts, double-click the little square and enter: The Tasks with: Names Category And ID Duration Make sure to select task

11. The first task has been entered

12. This is how it would look after all tasks for the first phase have been entered

13. To indicate task’s dependencies drag from the end of one task to the beginning of the next one

14. Click here to auto- schedule

15. This is how it would look like Red Color indicates the Critical Path

17. Project with two phases included It is a coincidence that the two phases have same duration

18. Click to see the PERT The zoom commands were used to fit the chart in the window

19. On planning, Resource assignment, double click the little square to enter the resources and their costs

20. Do the same for non labor resources Use Equipment for Space

21. You can add the cost of components as “material”

22. Right click on the tasks and select assignment to assign resources to the tasks

23. Right click on the tasks and select assignment to assign resources to the tasks. Enter estimated hours in Estimate

24. As components were entered with a rate of $100, 1.5 will represent $150

25. The yellow color indicates that the task is low in resources, more hours or space or equipment, etc are needed If you need to add a new task or phase in between tasks or phases, right click the square and select insert task

26. There will be a problem if you click schedule again

27. As the Audio Interface Module and the Mixer Module were using the same resources, they were converted to sequential. You would need to add more resources to keep the tasks in parallel The zoom commands were used to fit the chart in the window

28. Another Low Frequency Engineer was included Two more Lab Spaces were included It was not necessary increase the project duration

29. Click on controlling and then Revise Schedule to see the budget

30. Set The base Line Updating The Project Status

33. The task bar changes color to reflect status (Red / Blue – Not Started) (Purple – Started) (Grey – Progress completed) The task name changes color to reflect status (Red – Not Started) (Purple – Started) (Green – Completed)

34. Updating The Project Status If the task is completed enter 0 in Estimate

35. Updating The Project Status We reduced 20 hours but because of the weekend it appears to be a longer time

36. Milestones

37. Drag the milestone to the desired location

38. Milestones

39. Copy and Paste Table cells can be copied and pasted into excel By the way, this is a representation of the WBS

42. The Budget Even the Components are included here
