Project Analysis and Risk Assessment for MS Project Completion Timeline and Costs
This report evaluates the projected completion time and costs for the MS Project. Initially set for completion on 10/1/03, resource leveling has pushed the finish date to 11/11/03. The total labor cost is estimated at $916,980, and capital costs amount to $98,500. There is a significant risk of not finishing on time, especially with the holiday shopping season approaching. Only two weeks remain if the site must be operational by Thanksgiving. The design phase is critical, leaving little room for scope changes.

Presentation Transcript
MS Project Results • What is the projected completion time of the project? • Before leveling resources: 10/1/03 • After leveling resources: 11/11/03 • What is the total cost? How much is the labor and capital costs? • Labor Cost: $916,980 subject to leveling resources • Capital Cost: $98,500 • Critical Path • MS Project
Will the Project Complete in Time? • There is a high risk of this project not completing on time • After leveling resources, there is very little time between project completion date and the height of the shopping season
What are the risks? • If the site needs to be up by Thanksgiving Weekend, there are only ~2 weeks of additional work time available • Being unable to level all resources may cause further delays • This is not enough buffer to fully take advantage of the holiday shopping season • Due to the design phase being on the critical path, changing the scope with such a small window of extra time would not be possible.
