Projects Module 2 Discussion The Situation: You have been hired as the project
manager to construct a custom home. The owners have asked for some “minor
changes” such as relocating two electrical outlets, adding a refrigerated wine
cabinet that will require an
electrical connection, and adding gutters to the outside of the house. The owners
have seen the price list for these changes and are agreeable. The owners also
requested that an internal wall be relocated. Unfortunately, the wall is load bearing
which means that the architect and structural engineer must modify the plans and
the local building
department must approve the modified plans. The key members in your project
team are the architect, structural engineer, and framing subcontractor. The redesign
by the architect and engineer will take about two weeks. The building department
needs two weeks after you submit the revised plans. You don’t have a price for the
relocated wall. The

know your current project schedule is based on many previous projects and
minimizes costs and negative risks. You have crashed activities and fast tracked
multiple activities in the past to shorten the schedule. The Assignment: Using
generic ideas of crashing and fast tracking, identify and explain some potential
additional costs and risks (both
opportunities and threats) that could occur because you are reducing the schedule
by one month. Your response should consist of a minimum of 500 words and

project manager for constructing a custom house. Your company requires an
evaluation of the estimate at completion (EAC). Since the pool change order
described in Week 1 has not been executed, you don’t have to change your
baseline budget. Everything is going well;
even the irrigation well and pump are in early. The EAC should be based on the
planned and earned values in WBS PV EV July 1 spreadsheet. The Assignment:
Calculate EAC using the four different formulas. You know that Tropical Storm
will impact your cost, so in the “Bottom-up ETC” you add $5,000 to the estimated
cost for storm cleanup in WBS item
3.4; thus your Bottom-up ETC will be $5,000 higher than the ETC = EAC-AC (i.e.
ETC =EAC-AC +$5,000). Explain the differences between the four forecasting
formulas. Which one would you consider has the most validity? Include at least
three credible references in addition to the PMBOK® Guide with at least one of
these being a peer-reviewed journal

Projects Module 5 Discussion The Situation: You are the project manager for
constructing a custom house. On one of your Monday morning inspections of the
progress, you notice a spot of flaking paint on the outside of the house. The outside
was painted on Friday. On
closer inspection, you see that the entire north side of the house has issues with the
paint peeling and flaking. The other sides of the house appear fine. The

paying for 80% of your project. The smaller department is paying 20%. The
department manager of the smaller department is requesting modifications nearly
every week. Your stakeholder management plan was based on your company’s
standard template. You have been following the approved stakeholder management
plan. You look at the issues log and see
that there are four open issues. These open issues and possibly future requests for
modifications could impact the completion date. The Assignment: Obviously
something must be changed to better control this situation. What tools and
techniques would you choose to control this stakeholder’s engagement? What
process outputs do you expect to create?

Situation: In your past, you have probably monitored risks in your personal life, on
your job, or both. Select one that you were monitoring, either formally or
informally, that actually happened and was a surprise. Remember, risks are both
opportunities and threats. The Assignment: With 20-20 hindsight, identify what
you missed that could have
better predicted the risk occurring. Also, with 20-20 hindsight, identify what threat
mitigation, threat avoidance, or opportunity exploitation you would have initiated.

Discussion The Situation: Most relationships between different business entities
are based on negotiated agreements, also called contracts. These are legal
documents that bind each party
to perform in accordance with the agreement. You are the project manager of an
organization. You are responsible for closing a vendor’s agreement and
administrative closure of the procurement. The Assignment: Develop a procedure
to close a procurement both contractually and administratively. Your response
should be a minimum of 500 words, and
will begin work on your Group Project for this module. You will work as a group
but will submit the assignments individually. Your Group Project for this course
will be completed in four stages and submitted in Modules 2, 3, 4, and 8. The
purpose of the Group Project is to apply the concepts and techniques of the module
employing the following
which includes the final floor plan (enclosed as Figure 1) and options selected at
your company’s “Design Center.” One change order has been processed: the
addition of a swimming pool (in Module 1). You don’t need to update the schedule
yet; that will be assigned with other changes and due Module 8. More details are
below the Assignment.
Assignment: Complete the first stage of your Group Project—The Validate Scope
Process. To validate scope, your company requires five interim inspections and one
final inspection. The inspections are: 1. Grading inspection; pre-slab and
underground plumbing stake-out (completed) 2. Slab inspection; pre-framing plan
(completed) 3. Framing and
exterior inspection; pre-drywall inspection (your current assignment) 4. Drywall
inspection; pre-cabinets and fixtures 5. Cabinets and fixtures inspection 6. Final

of $250 for making the change and any additional costs incurred to construct the
change. Some changes may require the review and approval of the local building
department, which will add at least two weeks to the construction schedule. You
don’t anticipate any issues; the Browns live in the area and stop in at the site once
or twice each week. You
have shown the location of various appliances and the kitchen island by painting
the outline of these on the floor. This allows for the owners to better visualize the
final layout. The purpose of this week’s submission is for your team to develop a
generic procedure that uses the inputs, tools, and techniques, and produces the
outputs in the
Validate Scope process. In addition, your team must develop a quality control
procedure for just the electrical switches and outlets to eliminate rework and
demonstrate your knowledge of the core value of Responsible Stewardship by
installing these features correctly the first time. Remember the carpenter’s adage:
“Measure twice, cut once.” The
case study on which the four part assignment is based is as follows: Project
Background: Mr. and Mrs. Brown are buying a new house, the “San Leo” model,
in a local subdivision. The house is a 4-bed, 2-bath with a 2 car garage. The
Browns have selected their options and signed the contract and addendums. Their
financing is approved. The house is now
constructing the electrical, plumbing, heating, roofing, and ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) items. The construction of each house is managed by a
single project manager who has two assistants. This project management team
typically has 10 to 20 houses in various stages of construction to manage. Please

end of this file. The building inspector requires a three-day window, which can
include weekend days. The building department is very good on performing the
inspections within the three-day window. The schedule has been approved by all
stakeholders. WBS items 3.5 and 3.6 are for two-story houses and were deleted
from this schedule because the San
Leo is one story. For consistency, the remaining WBS numbers are the same as a
two-story house. An Excel workbook: House Schedule of Values is included with
the course materials. This workbook has a WBS Budget that includes the initial
budget for the WBS items. Notice that the roll-up items do not have a subtotal.

June. However, Tropical Storm Cody sat off the coast, and the jobsite was shut
down because of wind, lightning, and/or rain for the entire first two weeks of July.
We were fortunate that lintel
and block inspection passed on June 28. Today is Friday, July 12. It is too wet to
work until Monday, but you have ordered the materials for the roof and the
framing, and all materials will be delivered on Sunday. You’ve probably heard of

the course materials, there is an Excel workbook that contains the budgeted cost,
the planned value, the percent complete, and the earned value that your team has
estimated as of July 12. The sheet has subtotals and formulas for PV, EV, AC, and
BAC. Unfortunately, the other formulas are missing, and you have to recalculate
them. Your supervisor has
asked you and your project management team to develop a recovery plan to start
the drywall work on time by the end of July. That gives you two weeks to do
essentially four weeks of work. The building department has agreed to inspect the
day you call in for an inspection as long as you pay the $200 overtime fee per
inspection. For weather delays,
your company’s policy is to always pay this additional inspection cost and costs for
extra inspections out of general company overhead so as not to impact your project
budget. To make up for the weather delay, you’ve talked with the structural
engineer regarding the framing inspection that is required before windows can be
installed. (The building
department requires that all structural walls be completed before any windows are
installed).You also talked to the building officials about installing the windows
after the inspection of the load bearing wall, and they agreed. You don’t need to
complete all of the framing, just the interior load bearing wall shown in Figure 1.
You realize that
your crew can erect this in a 12-hour day. The building department will have to
inspect this wall before the windows are installed, but they agreed to do that at
6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, so that allows you to install windows all day Tuesday. The
cost for the additional inspection will be paid out of company overhead and not
charged to your project.
The sheeting can be started when half of the trusses are installed, but it will still
take one day after the trusses are installed for the sheeting to be installed. The
inspector has agreed to be there first thing in the morning the next day after the
sheeting is completed. You can also shorten the duration for framing, trusses,
sheeting, windows,
and roofing by working your crews on overtime pay. You can get up to 12 hours
labor per day from your crews, and they like the overtime pay! Your foreman
estimated 48 hours total for the framing crew to do all of the framing. He estimated
32 hours for the trusses. The time for the roofing is 80 hours with one roofing
crew. The windows are 56 hours
for one crew. You can also pay these crews overtime for 4 hours per work day and
12 hours on Saturday at a cost of $45 additional per hour. (The straight time hourly
wages are included in the budget.) If needed, your crews can work Sunday at
double time, which would cost an additional $90 per hour. (See the Crew Cost
spreadsheet for calculations.)

The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you and the children to move
beyond the basic, classic self-expressive experiences, such as standard easel
painting or block play, and to present some variation of a self-expressive activity
that is appropriate and
interesting for young children. This will provide variety for them as well as
furnishing you with an opportunity to try out your own inspiration. Remember that
self-expression occurs in play as well as with “art” materials, so the activity could
be any of the following: blocks, carpentry, easel painting (with variations from the
standard form),
