Refined MOV - WSOS

Worldwide Sports Online Site is a temporary endeavor to evaluate what features to use for their website and any alternatives. The purpose of this evaluation is to understand all alternatives and find the best solution to Worldwide Sports current problems. The most important aspects of this website will be allowing customers to buy products online and employees being able to update the inventory. 

These goals will be realized through the Worldwide Sports Online Site (WSOS) project.

Cash Flow Table

The below table illustrates the project cash flow based on the resources completing the tasks. These cash flows are only based on the resources (employees) that complete each task. This table does not include any cost of training accommodations, meals, rent, hardware/software, etc. The project budget remains at $300,000 with everything included.

 

Milestone Table

The milestone report displays all of the milestones completed to date, the next ones to be completed, and any late milestones that are going over budget.

Cost Overview Table

This table shows the costs that have already happened, the cost of any late tasks, and the cost of the other remaining tasks not yet completed. Just like the resource overview table, these costs are solely the social capital (employee labor) associated with each task to be finished.

 

Resource Overview Table

The following 2 tables illustrate the total cost of each resource and the standard rate of the resources used in this project. Each resource used has a cost associated with it based on hourly pay. The costs are represented in hourly pay as opposed to a salary in case the project runs over schedule, this will keep the motivation high to get the project completed instead of having a pay cap regardless of how much work is completed. Looking at our WBS, each task has a resource allocated to it.
