Using any stack of your choice, create a simple web application of the project description:

Project Details
A simple appointment application that does the following.

  • Allow club members to fill out a form to book an appointment. It is up to you to intuitively determine the appointment booking data.

  • Allow for member appointment submissions to be added to Calendar such as Google Calendar and others etc.
  • It is recommended to approach the project in this manner:
    • Determine your functional requirements
    • Refer back to your diagrams from assignment two

You have been asked to perform the following planning and scheduling processes using Microsoft Project 2012 or later version.

 

A: CPM & WBS (10% of the assignment)

  1. Produce and draw smoothed resource histograms for the skilled labour resources used in the project. Critically assess the output identifying the maximum units of each resource required for this project.
  2. Carry-out resource levelling for Unskilled resource only (do not use automatic resource levelling) and discuss how activities might be delayed beyond the latest start time (LST) to cater for the limits on Unskilled resources as a result of levelling. Consider resource pool for unskilled resources as 7 units per day.
  3. Explain and discuss the process of resource levelling.

 

C: Cost Analysis (5% of the assignment)                                                 

  1. Calculate the cost of each activity in the project (level 3). Consider the standard cost of a skilled labour as £20/hr, unskilled labour as £10/hr and equipment as £50/hr.
  2. Produce cumulative cost-time curve for the project.

 

Note:

  • Start the project on 1st December 2023.
  • Use default UK working calendar (i.e. Saturdays and Sundays are non-working days, 8 working hours in a day, bank holidays should be considered as non-working days)
  • Use resource unit as decimal.
  • Use fixed duration and set unit as days.
  • Clearly identify each part of the answers to the questions.
  • Use header and footer to clearly indicate what the chart or graph is showing.
