Follow the instructions given in the Overview and Video Tutorials to complete Part 5 (Do only the Fourth Quarter, January 1, 2011) and Part 6 of the Conveyor Belt Project in Appendix 2 of the text book. Submit your Word document for the assignment to the instructor through the Assignment tab.

Initial Steps

1. Open the Conveyor Belt Project file for the homework from the last module (resource scheduling).

2. Save the file under a new name. So you can go back to the previous file if there is a problem afterwards.

3. Set baseline for the project.

4. Open a Word document for this week’s homework.

Part 5 (Do only the Fourth Quarter, January 1, 2011)

1. Set status and current date for the project to January 1, 2011.

2. Enter status information for the project in the Tracking table.

3. Produce and copy/ paste the Earned Value Report, Earned Value Cost Indicators Report, Earned Value Schedule Indicators Report and the Tracking Gantt Chart into the Word document.

4. Answer all the questions given in Part 5 for the fourth quarter only. Note: EACf is same as EAC and VACf is same as VAC.

From Textbook

Part 5

Prepare a status report for the fourth quarter (January 1, 2011). This requires saving the resource schedule as a baseline and inserting the appropriate status report date in the program. Assume that no work has been completed on the day of the status report.

The status report should include a table containing the PV,EV, AC, BAC, EAC, SV, CV, and CPI for each activity and the whole project. The report should also address the following questions:

1. How is the project progressing in terms of cost and schedule?

2. What activities have gone well? What activities have not gone well?

3. What do the PCIB and PCIC indicate in terms of how much of the project has been accomplished to date?

4. What is the forecasted cost at completion (EACf)? What is the predicted VACf?

5. Report and interpret the TCPI for the project at this point in time?

6. What is the estimated date of completion?

7. How well is the project doing in terms of its priorities?

Include a Tracking Gantt chart with each report
