NOTIONAL ACTIVITY DURATION SCHEDULE

Notional Activity estimated Duration

The estimated total elapsed time for how long an activity will take from starts to finish, including associated waiting time. Also referred to as activity resource estimated or estimated activity resources.

Example only: Does not reflect tasks of this assignment. Be sure and remove any examples in your management response document.

PROJECT QUESTIONS & TASKS

1. Provide a project objective associated with the Lear Jet Avionics project. Include a list of assumptions about the project.

2. What is a work breakdown structure? What is a responsibility matrix? Using the Lear Jet Avionics project activity list and activity duration schedule, create a WBS and RAM.

Work Breakdown Structure (Should provide hierarchical graph) **

Responsibility Assignment Matrix

** (Example RAM Template: From different requirements. Be sure and remove any examples in your management response document.)

3. (Major) List all activity costs. From the project activity list and activity duration schedule, estimate the cost of each activity. Then, determine the Total Budgeted Cost (TBC) for the Lear Jet Avionics project. Provide the information in table format by month. Objective evidence of derived costs is required for credit. Use labor and overhead rates as provided in your derived calculations.

4. Provide a cumulative budgeted cost curve and monthly budget curve for the Lear Jet Avionics project. Provide in appropriate graph format. This should represent both monthly budget and TBC over the period of performance of the project.

5. Lear Jet Avionics wants to know if you plan to use a management reserve for their project. Explain what the term reserve means and why you will use contingency reserve in the project or not. Be sure and consider the implications of using or not using the reserve. Provide appropriate detail in your response.

6. Lear Jet Avionics wants to know how TAMUC Software Consultants plans to employ cost management and earned value (EV) in their project. Explain to Lear Jet Avionics why it is necessary to calculate the earned value of work performed and how you plan to execute this task.
