activity 9.3
christopher.In this exercise you will demonstrate and discuss how a project schedule supports project procurement tools. Follow these steps in order:
- Go to GanttProject, a free desktop tool for project scheduling
- Download and install GanttProject
- Open GanttProject (you should see a blank Gantt chart)
- Using the “Tasks” pull-down menu (or the clock icon), create a new task.
- Name the task by typing in “Project Start”
- Add additional tasks for the following, in order
- Design Airplane
- Prototype Airplane
- Release Drawings
- Procure 20 Airplanes
- Certify Airplanes Operational
- Close Project
- Highlight all 7 tasks and click on the “create dependencies…” chain link icon just above the tasks
- Highlight only the first item, “Project Start,” and click on the information icon at top (“i” in a circle)
- Make sure the task duration is 1 day.
- Repeat setting task durations for each task. (There is no right answer for durations. Use your judgment; this is called estimating).
- In order to have the project start one month from now, open the information icon for the “Project Start” task and set the “Begin Date” to one month from now.
- Save the project and “export” it to PDF.
- Create a word document as a letter to your procurement team. Write a paragraph explaining that you need to order airplanes and identify the start and finish dates for the procurement. Insert the Gantt chart PDF you just created.
- In the discussion board area, attach this document and discuss a concept from this exercise that stands out to you as most revealing.
