Assignment Background and Description

In order to complete this assignment successfully, you will need to develop the foundational elements of the project management plan for your capstone project. This assignment is worth 30% of your final grade, and you will have the opportunity to submit it in three parts.

This assignment is a group assignment, so you will work with the other members of your project team to develop the three baselines for your project plan.

2. AssignmentScope

With an approved project charter, you will start by defining your projects scope in detail and establish your scope baseline. You will then develop a schedule for all of your project’s activities and tasks, to define the schedule baseline. The final piece of the assignment will have you estimate the project cost and define the cost baseline and funding requirements. Each of the baselines will require you to define a management plan.

3. Deliverables

A completed set of baselines that establish the “Iron Triangle”. The foundation of your project management plan in MS Word format that includes a MS Project file and all the items in the high-level requirements.
