Unit VII Project
Scenario: You are the project manager responsible for a new building construction in northern Virginia. The building is
worth $500,000 and will have five bedrooms, a kitchen, landscaping, and a two-car garage to be completed in two years.
This was agreed upon in a firm fixed contract. During the execution (construction) of the building, you realize that the cost
of materials have gone up by 10%, and your schedule is behind by 90 days due to delays from county inspections and
permit processes. You also notice that if you continue with the current cost rate and schedule rate that the total cost to
complete this house would be $600,000 and delivered three months late.
Submit a three-page report explaining the reasons for these variances from your original project management plan and
the proposed steps on how you are going to control the cost and schedule to achieve the contract threshold of $500,000
to be delivered in two years. Your plan must include the following:
Address identifications of impacted activities with their cost and schedule attributes, remembering to account for
contingencies.
Address explanations of the roles your project management team will play during the execution of your project
management plan and how they will help you to control the issues that are arising during the project.
