For this Assignment, you continue to develop your project plan for the Oak Township Medical Center.
After a project’s deliverables have been identified and diagrammed in a work breakdown structure, the next step is to subdivide each deliverable into smaller components that represent the specific work that needs to be performed in order to complete the work package. These defined activities can then be sequenced. This sequence of activities provides the basis for the project schedule. By including these details, schedules enable project managers to monitor and control project activities, assess how delays will affect a project, and determine how to allocate excess available resources.
· Update and submit your project schedule that you began developing in the past week in which you complete the following:
– Identify needed resources.
– Assign and level resources.
· In addition to submitting your updated project schedule file, also submit a 2-page paper that evaluates the successes and challenges experienced in creating your project plan. Identify project management strategies that you would employ in the future to address challenges and explain why you would apply them.
Be specific and include at least 4 references to scholarly resources.
