Question

this exercise is meant to be done in groups of 2 (max 3). each member of the group must submit their own solution on canvas. i expect a single pdf file containing all the answers to the exercises. 1 problem 1 - scope definition you are in charge of organizing a dinner - dance concert for a local charity. you have reserved a hall that will seat 30 couples and have hired a jazz combo. develop a scope statement for this project that contains examples of all the elements. assume that the event will occur in four weeks. provide your best estimate of the dates for the milestones. what would the priorities likely be for this project? 2 problem 2 - priorities identify real - life examples of a project that would fit each of the following priority scenarios: time - constrain, scope - enhance, cost - accept time - accept, scope - constrain, cost - enhance time - constrain, scope - accept, cost - enhance 3 problem 3 - wbs develop a wbs for a project in which you are going to build a bicycle. try to identify all the major components and provide three levels of detail. 4 problem 4 - responsibility matrix you are the father of a family of four (kids ages 13 and 15) planning a weekend camping trip. develop a responsibility matrix for the work that needs to be done prior to starting your trip.

Explanation:

1. Problem 1: A scope statement for the charity dinner - dance concert would include project objectives (raise funds for charity, provide an enjoyable event), deliverables (a well - organized dinner, dance, and concert), milestones (e.g., week 1: finalize menu; week 2: send out invitations; week 3: decorate the hall; week 4: event day). Priorities would likely be ensuring a high - quality event experience for guests and meeting the fundraising goal.
2. Problem 2:

• Time - constrain, Scope - enhance, Cost - accept: Launching a new software product with a fixed release date (time - constrain), adding new features during development (scope - enhance), and being willing to spend more to meet the deadline and feature set (cost - accept).
• Time - accept, Scope - constrain, Cost - enhance: Building a custom - designed house where the owner is flexible on the completion time (time - accept), has a fixed list of features and rooms (scope - constrain), and is willing to pay more for high - end materials (cost - enhance).
• Time - constrain, Scope - accept, Cost - enhance: Organizing a large - scale music festival in a short time frame (time - constrain), keeping the planned number of performers and activities (scope - accept), and spending more to secure top - tier acts and better security (cost - enhance).

1. Problem 3: A Work - Breakdown Structure (WBS) for building a bicycle could have:

• Level 1: Bicycle
• Level 2: Frame, Drivetrain, Wheels, Brakes, Accessories
• Level 3: For frame: tubes, joints, paint; for drivetrain: chain, gears, pedals; for wheels: rims, spokes, tires; for brakes: brake pads, calipers, cables; for accessories: seat, handlebars, lights.

1. Problem 4: A responsibility matrix for a family camping trip could assign tasks like father: buying food supplies, setting up the tent; 15 - year - old: packing sleeping bags, gathering firewood; 13 - year - old: packing personal items, helping with tent setup; mother: planning the itinerary, bringing first - aid kit.

Answer:

1. Scope statement and priorities provided as described above for the charity event.
2. Real - life examples for priority scenarios provided as described above.
3. WBS for building a bicycle provided with three levels of detail as described above.
4. Responsibility matrix for family camping trip provided as described above.
