As mentioned in prior assignments, assume that you are the project manager for the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project and that the project cost must not exceed $200,000 and must not take longer than 6 months to complete. Assume that this project cost only includes labor costs.
The following resources are available to work full time on this project. Their associated hourly labor rates is also provided below:
Project Manager: $120 per hour

Refer to Appendix A in the textbook for guidance in using Microsoft Project.
In your Microsoft Project file that you completed for last week's assignment, enter the resources listed above into the "Resource Name" field on the Microsoft Project Resource Sheet. Be sure to enter the labor rate information into the "Std Rate" field. Do not alter any of the other fields on the Resource Sheet.
You have met with the project team and have determined which tasks each person will be assigned to. This information is located in "Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project Resource Assignments." Based on this information, assign the resources to each task in your Microsoft Project file. Do not alter the resource hours and do not change any task durations or start/finish dates.
Read the "Resource Histograms" section in Appendix A in the textbook. Balancing resources is crucial in project planning since we want to ensure the resources are not assigned to more than number of hours in a given work week. Review the Resource Graph for your project in Microsoft Project. Resolve any resource over-allocations by manually reducing the hours for the relevant resources for relevant tasks. Make realistic adjustments to the hours (note that the work-week is 56 hours since Saturdays and Sundays are work days on this project).
Do not alter any resource task assignments.
Do not change any task durations or start/finish dates.
Do not use the Resource Leveling feature in Microsoft Project –- it may result in undesired changes to your project durations, start/finish dates, and/or resource hour allocations.
