Cost

Add Big Picture Cost

i.e. – estimate cost for the three big deliverables

(and we’ll have a more detailed cost breakdown after the WBS – I think is the best way to do it, but

not sure…)

14

Gantt Chart

I think it would be best to show the bar graphs of maybe the level three activities – because if we show bars for the level two activities – it is just going to be three solid bars going across from start to finish. And if we show level 4+ activities, the chart might start to get too confusing….

What do you think?

And, include milestones?

Also, should we include a bar for ‘project mgmt activities’ – mainly a small bar at the beginning of the timeline for planning and a small bar at the end of the timeline for close out activities…??

15

WBS

Here is the detailed WBS!!

You got this Dino?

16

Time Structure

We need to breakdown timeline and lengths of activities….

Does this need its own slide, or is this information already included in the WBS?

17

Cost Breakdown

Detailed cost breakdown of all WBS activities

Example format….(? I’m just making this up…could be used for time structure as well, or… combine cost and time??)

Activity Time Cost

1.1 Create schedule of seasonal fruit availability

2 days n/a(labor?)

1.2 Focus Groups/taste test

1.2.1 Organize 2 days

1.2.2 Execute 1 day $2000

Vendor Evaluation Criteria

Don’t know what the best format for this is…what do you think?

This is the content I came up with for Juice:

• Cost – looking for best value• Quantity – need a vendor that produces large

quantities• Location – the closer to production plant the

better• Availability – growers that offer a variety of fruit

throughout the year

22

Monitoring and Control

Don’t know if we need content for this?

Do the example projects have something like this

23

Anything else?

What else are we missing? Anything stand out from the example projects?
