Week 6 Gantt Chart and Risk Registry
Assignment
Purpose
The process of project management has five phases, 1) design/initiation which you just completed, 2) finalizing your plan before implementation which you will do now, 3) implementation, 4) monitor and control and finally, 5) evaluation and lessons learned as well as knowledge transfer. This assignment will help you develop project timelines using a Gantt chart and determine who is ultimately responsible for task completion as well as risks to the project for which you will identify and then monitor.
Assignment Overview
In this?assignment, you will define and document?the project’s tasks?and project’s deliverables?and their relationships to each. Consider the components that would be included in a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) exercise as you construct your Gantt Chart and Risk Registry.
You will?develop?project?timelines?using a?Gantt chart?for key deliverables which may be created?in excel.??The Gantt chart, named after Henry Gantt, clearly shows the start and completion dates for all major?project activities and subtasks.?The Gantt chart is straightforward, easy to understand,?and simple to change. It?provides?a snapshot of the project, and one can?immediately?identify?task durations and distinguish tasks dependent upon other tasks to be completed before they are started. Understanding?all?dependencies is critical?for the project manager who is responsible for time, budgets, and resource allocation. Microsoft Excel includes several templates that you may choose from as well as instructions for their use.
Another key tool you will develop for this assignment is called?the?Risk Registry. Risk management will be accomplished?using?a?Risk Registry?template.?Using?the?Risk Registry?is a way to?identify, document and manage?all?the risks associated with a project. The chart details?provide?a straightforward way?to scan for?level of?risk, status, potential responses,?who?is responsible for?the risk in addition to the project manager?or other details needed to manage the risk. This is?a great way?to keep everyone informed when this document is presented at the weekly team meetings and in communication with all stakeholders.?
