This week we are going to do a tutorial on MS Project (or one of the tools outlined below).

This week we are going to do a tutorial on MS Project (or one of the tools outlined below). Open your tool of choice (see options below). We will start to enter a project. You must make the assumption that the project charter is complete and signed. The project you select will be used throughout this course.

In the Gantt view, enter high level categories, commonly called Summary Tasks, for your project. High level categories or Summary Tasks for building a house may include Prepare for Foundation, Foundation, Frame house, Install Sheetrock, and Landscaping, etc. You may use a business project that you have been on before, or you may develop a new process for your organization, or create training for a new software or process just instituted at the company, start a new business, etc. Do not use building a house.

Required to have at least 6 high level categories or Summary Tasks. Hint make sure to include project management as a high-level task.

Remember if it is not in the plan, it will not get done.

Important to keep in mind that project management is where the administrative tasks are included.

Make sure your submittal is professional, grammatically correct and no spelling errors.

Select any project idea or one that has already been done that can sustain 6 more week’s in this course. It doesn’t matter to me, it just can not be a project to build a house.

Please use proper sources.

I have attached the rubric.
