Unidad III & IV: Desarrollo del Plan del Proyecto/ Ejecución de acuerdo al
Plan del Proyecto
Project Schedule Planning:
Write several paragraphs to provide more in-depth analysis and consideration when
answering the following questions.

1. Compare the Gantt and Network charts. Describe the uses of each type of chart.
2. Choose a project with which you are familiar (it could be a simple project like John’s
move) and describe how the project could be crashed using each of the methods
described in the text.
3. Describe what size project could be done using general purpose word processing and
spreadsheet software and how you could structure the data in those documents to make
it easier to transfer that data into a project management software, if necessary.

Estimating and Managing Costs:

This project has three completed activities whose durations are indicated by the blue bars
in row 2. The budgeted cost of work scheduled for each task is shown on the bar in row 2.
The budgeted cost of work scheduled for each week is shown on row 3. Notice that the
amounts in row 3 add up to the amounts shown on the bars. Rows 4 and 5 indicate the
budgeted cost of work performed and actual cost. Notice that the second task started a week
late.

1. What is the planned value (PV) at the end of week three?

2. What is the earned value (EV) at the end of week three?
3. What is the actual cost (AC) at the end of week three?
4. What is the cost variance (CV) at the end of week three?
5. What is the schedule variance (SV) at the end of week three?
6. What is the planned value (PV) at the end of week seven?
7. What is the earned value (EV) at the end of week seven?
8. What is the actual cost (AC) at the end of week seven?
9. What is the cost variance (CV) at the end of week seven?
10. What is the schedule variance (SV) at the end of week seven?
11. What is the cost performance index (CPI) at the end of week seven?
12. What is the schedule performance Index at the end of week seven?
13. If the budget at completion (BAC) for this project is $500,000, what is the Estimate to
Complete (ETC) at the end of week seven if the cost and schedule variances
experienced are typical of the remainder of the activities?
14. Based on your answer to the previous question, what is the estimate at completion
(EAC) for this project?

Managing Project Risk:

Write several paragraphs to provide more in-depth analysis and consideration when
answering the following questions.
1. Choose a simple project with which you are familiar and describe a risk that is
typical of each phase of the project and a mitigation plan for those four risks.
2. Assume that you are considering the purchase of a house. What are examples of
each of the four types of risk mitigation that are associated with buying a house?
Explain your choice of each example and relate it to the definition of each type of
risk mitigation.
3. Assume that you are working on a complex project to add a wing to a hospital that
is next to a natural wetland. Using the four categories of the Darnall-Preston
Complexity Index, identify a high-impact risk and explain your choice.
