Question
I need support with this Management question so I can learn better.
Part1: Chapter. 8 Scheduling Resources and Costs. Read a topic from chapter 8 and write a summary on the topic and also answer the below question.
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
How can outsourcing project work alleviate the three most common problems associated with multi-project resource scheduling?
Part 1 needs to be 450 plus words and APA format.
Part 2: Read the Case “Power Train, Ltd.” at the end of Chapter 8 and respond to the following questions:
We have smashing systems for reporting, tracking, and controlling costs on design projects. Our planning of projects is better than any I have seen at other companies. Our scheduling seemed to serve us well when we were small and we had only a few projects. Now that we have many more projects and schedules using multi-project software, there are too many occasions when the right people are not assigned to the projects deemed important to our success. This situation is costing us big money, headaches, and stress!
Read this above case study from the end of chapter 8 and also properly answer the following question.
Potential expansion into the truck power train business is not feasible until the confusion in project scheduling is solved or reduced significantly. Jones is ready to tackle this problem, but he is not sure where to start. What criteria should he consider? What should be the sequence for selecting and assigning people to projects?
Part2 needs to be 1.5 – 2 pages in length and in APA format.
Note: I have attached the textbook in the zip format and only use the attached book for writing the assignment. All citations need to be properly cited.
Requirements: Part1 450+ words and Part2 1.5 to 2 pages
