1) 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. Assignment Scope 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.

4. Part A (Scope Baseline (10%)

This must include:

? Your approved project charter.

? Assumption log. This should include any assumptions made while creating your charter along with any new assumptions made while creating your scope baseline.

? Requirements Management Plan

? Scope Management Plan

? Scope Statement

? WBS. This is to be completed in MS Project, and needs to be elaborated to at least three levels deep (0 being the first level). Use the notes feature on each task to define details of each task.

? Scope Baseline. The baseline is the combination of the items above, so any missing pieces means you do not have a baseline.
