Module 2 Assignment 1

Congratulations! Your manager assigned you to be the project lead for the Genesis System Upgrade Project. Your assignment will be to replace the monitoring system for a major security firm. The planning for this project must begin immediately. Luckily, the previous lead who you are replacing provided you with a preliminary Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Upgrade Document.

Using what you learned in Webinar 1 – Getting Started with MS Project, create a new MS Project file (blank file) and name it with your last name then first name and ASMT1 (example: WilsonRobert-ASMT1) as the file name. Use the Gantt Chart view and enter the tasks, durations, and dependencies from the basic WBS. For the dates, use the start date of Monday of Module 3. Be sure that each task is auto-scheduled and be certain to include the non-workday “Company Picnic” that will occur on Thursday of Module 3. Submit your assignment to the Assignment 1 Assignment box no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT. (This Assignment box is linked to Turnitin).
