Windsor Institute has 50 employees and wants to increase employee productivity by setting up an internal
software applications training program. The training program will teach employees how to use Microsoft
software programs such as Windows 8 and Office 2010. Courses will be offered in the evenings and on
Saturdays and taught by qualified volunteer employees. Instructors will be paid $30 per hour.
In the past, employees were sent to courses offered by local vendors during company time. In contrast, this
internal training program should save the company money on training as well as make people more
productive. The Human Resources department will manage the program, and any employee can take the
courses. Employees will receive a certificate for completing courses, and a copy will be put in their personnel
files. The company needs to set up a training classroom, survey employees on desired courses, find qualified
volunteer instructors, and start offering courses. The company wants to offer the first courses within six
months. One person from Human Resources is assigned full time to manage this project, and top management
has pledged its support.
Four people from various departments (Mike Smith and Lisa Robbins from IT, Jim Mulcahy from Marketing and
Bill Jones from Corporate) are available part time to support the full-time Human Resources person, Terry, on
the project. Assume that Terry’s hourly rate is $30. Two people from the Information Technology department
will each spend up to 25% of their time supporting the project. Their hourly rate is $40. One person from the
Marketing department is available 25% of the time at $30 per hour, and one person from Corporate is
available 30% of the time at $25 per hour. ICT Project Management - Assessment Task 2 LAST UPDATED: December 2015, Version No. 3.0

project, and for another week, four months into the project. Make adjustments to accommodate this
unavailability, so the schedule does not slip and costs do not change. Document the changes from the
original plan and the new plan. b) Add to each resource a 5% raise that starts three months into the project. Screen shot a new budget
report. c) Use the Resource Usage view to see each person’s work each month. Screen shot a copy. ICT Project Management - Assessment Task 2 LAST UPDATED: December 2015, Version No. 3.0
