You also need to do activity estimated and allocate resources to each activity. You are supposed to present a time-phased budget for your example project using bottom-up estimating, a risk register in the form of a risk register as per the format, and Quality management plan. Finally, you must develop a closure checklist that the project team will use to ensure that the project has been closed properly.

Please use the below given sample formats when addressing the assignment3 tasks:

Task 1: WBS (level 2/3) – Word doc or MS Project (25 Marks)

Task 3: Create a time-phased budget for your example project using bottom-up estimating. As you allocate resources to the activity your budget is being created. After you extract the Gantt chart, revisit the activity list and be sure to check direct labour costs for you and your team has been added and add 20% for fringe.

In this section, State all assumptions and constraints you have used when creating your budget. Give examples of known knowns and known unknowns (these are financial risks) on your project. Describe how you have budgeted for both of them plus how you have budgeted for unknown unknowns (15 Marks)
