Unit IV Assignment:
Course Project Part 4: Plan Budget Management: Identify Resources, Assign Costs to Resources, Assign Resources to Activities, and Roll-Up Project Baseline
The homebuilding project continues in Unit IV with the development of the project budget. In this assignment, refer to the schedule documents developed in the Unit III assignment. After reviewing the schedule, complete the project budget documents below.
Plan budget management: Document in one to two pages your strategy for developing, managing, and controlling the project budget for your homebuilding project. Feel free to draw upon templates for this purpose by searching external websites you may find. After completing the plan budget management document, perform the following additional requirements.
Part A:
Identify resources and assign costs to resources for the activities and durations identified in Unit III.
Part B:
Assign resources to activities: Create a budget table as outlined in the Unit IV Lesson that assigned resources and associated costs to activities.
Part C:
Roll-up project baseline: Calculate the cumulative budget for the activities identified in Unit III. Use this date to create a project budget curve.
The plan budget management document along with the three parts (Parts A, B, and C) must be at least three pages. Submit your assignment as ONE combined document into Blackboard for grading.
