MS Project 2016 assignment
COMP 1115 Project Assignment Winter 2022
You will be developing your own project for this assignment. Please choose a project
(e.g., event, small renovation, website development) with at least three workers
including yourself (i.e., include yourself in the project)
This project will be strictly marked on the logical and consistent choices you make in
thinking through your project. Make sure that everything is labeled correctly and
logically. All tasks should be stated clearly. Anyone should be able to look at the project
file and understand it without any help.
Due Date: February 14, 2022
Project Requirements:
1. Choose a Start or Finish date for your project. Decide if you will Schedule from
Project Start Date or Schedule from Project Finish Date. Make sure your choices are
in line with your Project Goal.
2. You might want to start on paper. Develop a series of tasks and sub-tasks for this
project. There should be no fewer than twelve tasks with specific durations (not
including Summary Tasks and milestones for example). Tasks should make logical
sense. Put these tasks into your project file in the correct order. Try to group them
appropriately using a clear Work Breakdown Structure. Think about what kinds of
dependencies you will need to link tasks with?
3. Set reasonable and logical Durations for all your tasks.
4. Create Dependencies among the Tasks. Explain any points where you included non-
Finish-to-Start (FS) Dependencies. Make sure to use at least 2 such dependencies
and explain why they are appropriate. Stating that task 1 and task 2 can start at the
same time, when explaining the use of SS dependency is not really providing an
explanation. All you did was to state the definition of SS dependency. Explain why
that dependency makes sense.
5. Include at least two Milestones.
6. Include lag or lead (negative lag) time at least twice in your project. Briefly explain
your choices.
7. Schedule at least two holidays over the course of your project.
8. Include a Recurring Task in your project.
9. Include 2 constraints.
