Eng 200Important Points Introduction is a pseudo-contract for the building of a fictitiousmillion dollar house in Los Angeles WBS is self explanatory and gives structure of project over 2 pages. WBS Dictionary gives a little more detail than the WBS itself. Budget details costs of each phase of the project, broken down byWBS areas. Costs include labor and materials. Resources give details of labor and material rates. Tracking Gantt with costs essentially shows the costs entered intoMS Project at an arbitrary stage of the project (not the final statusdate). Status Summary shows a MS Project summary of the project as itstands at the status date 11/3/03. This summary clearly shows asmall estimated variance at completion, but more importantly aschedule variance of 11 days, which will be costly and will ideallybe caught up.2
Eng 200Important Points (cont’d) Tracking Gantt with Earned Value shows the project as it stands at the statusdate. Important things to note are:– Ground works ran over cost and over time due to poor weather.– Structure was completed ahead of schedule and under cost, saving the project 12,000.– Services are running behind schedule – a lot of catch up needs to be done.– Services delays are the major cause of the estimated schedule variance of 11days.– The project is estimated to run slightly ( 2,120) over budget at present. Theover-expenditure due to weather has been almost offset by the savingsachieved in structure. Management reserve is more than adequate to absorbthis small difference if required at completion.– The 11 day schedule variance can be made up by placing more people on thejob or asking people to put in some “green time.” The extra costs if anyshould be weighted against the penalties for late completion.3
Eng 200Important Points (cont’d) The Dashboard shows 3 measures of project performance, schedule,cost and quality. Schedule and cost are based on estimates atcompletion. Quality is subjective and is based on the ProjectManager’s ‘feel’ for the quality of the installation, feedback fromthe customer and amount of rework thus far required.4
