your allocation of staff to tasks you should reconsider this allocation.
在部分A i）项，分别给予的初始资源供应。现在，你已作出。你应该重新考虑你的工作人员的任务分配分配。
Required:
要求
1. Find the minimum level of resources required for your project in order that it is still possible for all tasks to continue starting at their earliest event times. Explain how you achieve this and give suitable evidence to show that it has been achieved.
查找的最低水平，以便为您的项目所需的资源，它仍然是可能的所有任务在他们最早的事件时间继续首发。解释你是如何做到这一点，并给予适当的证据表明它已经实现。
2. Find the minimum number of architects that can be allocated to your project without delaying the project finish date. Again, explain and give evidence.
查找建筑师不延迟项目完成日期的情况下，可分配给您的项目的最低数量。同样，解释和提供证据。
Explain also why this knowledge may be important to the effective management of your project
解释为什么这方面的知识也可能是重要的有效管理你的项目
Leave the number of resources at the level found in part A ii) 1. for the rest of your work.
留下的资源数量，发现在A部分II）1水平。剩下的工作。
Part B:
At the moment, the project is using the default “standard” Microsoft Project calendar that ignores both Bank and Public Holidays. Create a new copy of the standard calendar (perhaps called Topple Estate). It should include the following dates, where relevant, as non working days:
Year 2011: 03 Jan 22 Apr 25 Apr 02 May 30 May
29 Aug 26 Dec 27 Dec
Year 2012: 02 Jan 06Apr 09 Apr 07 May 04 Jun
05 Jun 27 Aug 25 Dec 26 Dec
.... please ignore any public holidays beyond these dates
With the “standard” calendar the project is due to start on 06th June, 2011 and finish on 11th Dec, 2012 (a total of 397 working days).
Required:
Where will your new calendar be used in Project? Carefully explain any change in the project finish date or duration and explain why it is useful to reset the baseline at this point. Show some clear evidence that dates have been changed to non working days.
(10 marks)
Part C:
You are now given the following information about fixed costs:
Overheads are allocated to the project at £100 per day (covering administrative costs, secretarial support, consumables, photocopying, plan prints and office accommodation where allocated to this project, etc.).
For task/phase 12 (Site Survey) there is a supervising Surveyor who will charge a fixed fee of £5,000 regardless of the length of the phase. Payable at the end of the phase.
For task 29 (Installation of site monitoring) there is a delivery and set up charge of £250 for the site monitoring equipment (payable up front).
For task 31 (Monitoring building) the hire charge of the monitoring equipment is £10/day deductable pro rata.
For task 46 (Undertake investigation ....) equipment hire is £40/week payable at the end of the task.
You may add other fixed costs if you wish ... provided that you justify their inclusion.
Required:
Add the fixed costs as specified above. Describe carefully how each fixed costs is allocated within the programme and how much each adds to total cost. Provide evidence of these changes.
Note: When you add fixed costs make sure they do not change the duration of tasks.
(10 marks)
Part D:
Describe the three most important reports or print outs that would, in your view, produce the most concise executive summary of the project at this stage. Explain carefully what each report or print out tells you and why or how you think it is important. Include a sample page of each report/view (but do not print more than one page of each report/view)
(15 marks)
Part E:
What is meant by the term tracking? Why is it necessary to track a project?
Track through this project for tasks 3 to 7 inclusive by making any assumptions about actual durations and/or costs you like. Have at least three tasks where either the duration or the cost (or both) were different from your baseline figure(s).
Carefully document the changes made with respect to the consequent changes to actual duration and/or actual cost of the project. Explain carefully any time and/or cost variances that you have created.
Provide print out which demonstrates that tracking has occurred at task level and shows cost and/or time variances at task level.
(25 marks)
Part F:
Critically discuss how the technical skills of project management can enhance the planning and implementation of complex and potentially unpredictable projects, including the communication of relevant issues to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
You should examine the relationship between theory and practice in project management by including where appropriate reference to this coursework, to class materials or discussions, to published research and case study work undertaken, together with reflections on your personal skills portfolio and your continuing professional development requirements.

Assessment Guidelines:
评估准则：
Maximum word count: about 2000 words (not including any images/charts/graphs/tables).
最大字数：2000字左右（不包括任何图像/图表/图表/表）。
Your work should be clear, precise, coherent and well presented.
你的工作应该是清晰，准确，连贯的。
You should show a clear understanding of how your analysis and conclusions are dependent upon any underlying theory and/or assumptions required or employed by you. You should show a clear integration of relevant knowledge from other modules where appropriate.
您的分析和结论是如何依赖于任何基础理论和/或需要假设或受雇于你，你应该表现出清晰的认识。从其他模块，在适当情况下，你应该表现出明显的整合的相关知识。
Make sure that you fully explain and justify any steps taken at each stage. Carefully document the tasks where actual and planned costs and/or durations diverge. Detail fully and explain any cost and/or time variances so produced.
Please avoid collusion:
请避免接应：
It is expected that each student will allocate resources to tasks differently from every other student so that clashes, total costs and scenarios used in tracking are all unique to you.
据预计，每个学生将资源分配到不同的任务，这样从每一个其他学生冲突，总成本用于跟踪和场景都是独一无二的你。
Computer printout:
电脑打印
Any computer printout should be given clear interpretation and analysis in the body of your text. It may be added in the form of an appendix but keyed or numbered in some way and referred to clearly in the body of your text. Please add your ID number and name to any computer printout - perhaps in the form of headers or footers.
应该给予明确的解释和分析您的文字在身体的任何计算机打印输出。还可以补充在附录的形式，但以某种方式键控或编号，并在体内您的文字清楚。请添加您的身份证号和姓名，到任何一台计算机打印输出 - 也许在页眉或页脚的形式。
