Locking Scope
In this Assignment, you will be taking the fully decomposed WBS found in your predecessor's "Gauchito Project Workbook.xls,"and familiarizing yourself with the full scope of the project, titling the project to distinguish your project from other projects in the portfolio, and indenting and renumbering the WBS numbers to reflect the priority of the project.
You may use Micrsoft Excel to accomplish this Assignment.
Review the Assignment instructions. Because you are the new PM for the Gauchito project, and the company is using the Gauchito EVM Tool your predecessor set up for this project, you will need to familiarize yourself with the tool immediately.
You were a team member during the planning stage of the Gauchito rocket project. The PM is now gone and the sponsor has made you the PM. The sponsor wants you to take the old PM's decomposed WBS, validate it, and align it with the other projects in the rocket assembly portfolio.
The Gauchito project is priority 5 out of 10 rocket assembly projects in the organization's portfolio of rocket projects for the scaled composites customer.
Here is what you will need to do:
Set up and familiarize yourself with the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs following the Gauchito rocket assembly project.
If you need some refreshing with some of the Excel functions, go the Atomic Learning modules and become very familiar with this tool. Failure to do so may adversely affect your ability to properly conduct the qualitative and quantitative analysis required for successful completion of an industry standard EVM application.
Following the engineering specifications for the rocket assembly of the Gauchito 7/8 scale demonstration-validation rocket from your engineering specs in Excel to ensure there are no multiple activities and that the WBS numbering and indentation reflect the Gauchito Rocket Project Title as "5.0".
