Work Break Down Structure (WBS) And RACI Chart For Bendigo Bank Development At University

WBS

Bendingo Bank is a community bank that ties up with universities to take care of their banking needs and provides services to the staff, students, and alumni of concerned university. The profits obtained by the bank from its operations are put back into the community projects to benefit the university. The services provided by the bank to the university include opening bank account, securing loan, and insurance (Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited, 2018). The current project involves devolvement of an internet unit in the University building for Bendingo Bank. This document is a project created for this new establishment at the University. The report includes a Work Break Down structure of the project outlining the major project tasks, RACI chart identifying responsibilities of teams, scheduling options, progress reporting, risk management, change management, stakeholder management, and project closure documentation.

The figure below shows the Work Break Down structure of the project of Bedingo bank development at the university. A WBS is created to divide the project into tasks and sub-tasks until the level smallest work units are identified that are not overlapping and thus, can be completed simultaneously using different project resources. WBS divides the Bedingo bank project into a project charter, business case, project development and project implementation. Creation of the Project Charter would be the first thing to do which would involve identification of scope, time, budget, and risks based on which the project would be proposed. The project owner who would be from the university would approve this charter. The signing of the charter would mark the beginning of the project. Before actual development is carried out, a business case would be prepared with risk register, which would be approved by the executives. The development phase would consist of execution of project and procurement of the needed resources to be able to complete the implementation process. Project execution would involve planning, designing, community engagement plan, building and approval of contracts. Procurement is done for administrator resources and procurement contractor would be hired (Basu, 2005).

A schedule and project budget would be developed during the development phase. In the implementation phase, the construction would be carried out at the university premises to accommodate the Bedingo bank. It would involve understanding and communicating with major stakeholders of the project, construction of the bank unit, and office setup at the University for the Bank. Once the construction and set up is completed, the project closure documentation would be completed and the project would be handed over by the contractor to the project owner. The project owner would accept the deliverables marked by a signature on the project closure documents as completed and accepted.

RACI Chart

The table below expands upon the WBS of the project of construction of Bendigo Bank in University and identifies the milestones and project activity durations. The project is expected to take 995 days for completion after it was started on 2^nd April 2018 with identification of the scope for creating the project charter. The project durations are proposed based on an earlier Bendingo bank establishment project, which was completed between 2007 and 2008. The final project handover would be done by 15 May 2020 and the final sign off would be taken on 15^th June 2020 (Bendingo Bank, 2008).

RACI chart is a matrix that identifies major project activities and assigns decision-making authorities for them. It identifies the roles of every team member on a project and clarifies if the roles can be assigned with a responsibility, accountability, or consulting role and if they only needed to be kept informed about the project. A RACI (responsibility, accountability, consulting, and Information) chart has been prepared for the current project of Bendingo bank development at the university stating the major roles of the project and assigning them required authorities for the project tasks identified in eh WBS chart (Bisk, 2018).

The table below shows identifies the duration for each project activities defined in the WBS with the explanation on why the duration have been chosen so. Most duration estimates are defined based on the experiences gained from a previous similar development project with consideration of differences in resources, technologies, budget, and project size (The Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc., 2015).

After Levelling, the budget of the project would be $673,440. The table below shows how this budget would be distributed among the WBS tasks for project completion.

The table below shows how the project progress would be reported on the Bendingo bank installation project for the University. Until now, the project has reached the stage of the Risk register formation. The task that are completed into planning, scheduling, and budgeting as shown in the table below. By this time, it is understood that initially estimated budget was very accurate as per the project sponsor and thus, at the time of approval, the value of the budget has been decreased. New risks are identified and recorded in the register at this stage. The next step on this project would be presentation of the Bendingo bank design for establishment (Basu, 2005).

The table below showing the progress report of the project considering its performance against the budget on a specific date as mentioned in gantt chart.

No project can skip risks completely. However, several risks can be prepared for at the start so that the damage from the risks are minimized. For this, it is essential to identify various risks that can occur on a project and build a contingency or mitigation plan to be taken as a solution to avoid the risk or mitigate its impacts after it occurs. The table below identifies the risks that a project may face me the current scenario and assesses them all by identifying how these risks would affect the project and what is the probability of the occurrence of such a risk on the project. Base on the probability and impact scores, a final severity score has been calculated by multiplying the earlier two measures. A mitigation strategy is thus planned considering the severity score of specific risks (PMI, 2008).

Risk Description	Impact	Category	Probability (1 to 5)	Impact (1 to 5)	Score (P*I)	Mitigation Strategy
1 Timeline extended	Scope creep	Business	4	3	12	Proper monitoring and auditing
2 Budget Enhanced	Scope creep	Business	3	2	6	Using tools for budgeting
3 Political risk	Delay in completion	Procurement	5	3	15	Executing proper communication and proper legal paper works
4 Legal Contractual	Lack in resources and funds	Communication	2	1	2	proper legal paper works
5 Environmental	Failure of the project	Procurement	3	4	12	Contingency plan
6 Design	Failure	Technology	2	3	6	Using latest technology such as 4D visualization
7 Construction	Reconstruction or failure (Quick Base, Inc., 2015)	Technology	1	4	4	Proper management

Project [Bedingo Bank Installation at the University] Date [30 April 2018] Person Proposing Change: Manager

Description of Change:

The time for the office set-up has to be increased

The project budget has to be reduced and revised cost management plan to be built considering the revised budget of the project

Resources are overloaded and would not be sufficient to complete the task on time

The project sponsor has reduced the budget figure while signing off the project charter and the project expenses would get adjusted accordingly (PM4Dev, 2018)
