Create a network diagram (graphical diagram) that shows the sequence and dependent relationships identified in the Astin Martin project activity list and activity duration schedule.

Provide a project objective associated with the Astin Martin Graphics project. Include a list of assumptions about the project. What is a work breakdown structure? What is a responsibility matrix? Using the Astin Martin project activity list and activity duration schedule, create a WBS and RAM.

STATEMENT OF WORK SUMMARY  

RFP awarded for specific web services which will be incorporated into a web graphics company (Astin Martin Graphics LLC). Topical level requirements for the software were provided. Deliverable products include:

⦁   Systems Engineering to provide appropriate requirements decomposition

⦁   Software Engineering to provide design/development/unit test of software

⦁   System Test Engineering to provide component and enterprise level testing

⦁   Quality Engineering to provide quality control through the entire development life cycle

⦁   Management functions to include all primary functions (project management, finance, planning & scheduling, Overhead support (contracts, engineering matrix, etc.)

Award date of May 15 and required completion date (deliverables provided) of November 15.

Astin Martin Graphics request of planned deliverables, acceptance criteria, quality plan, and work breakdown structure. These items need to be provided in an acceptable time for Astin Martin to review and approve.
