Initial WBS Assignment
(*Note: This assignment is a draft of one of the parts of your final project planning paper for the class.)
Step 1: Read the attached project management case.
Step 2: Assignment Deliverable – Preliminary Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Tools: Word, Excel (or another spreadsheet program), Gantt Chart Software
*Remember: you do not have all details of the project at this point, so do not attempt to infer what the details are – use only the information you have to develop a preliminary list of activities in the form of a WBS.
• THE FILE NAME OF THE SUBMITTED ASSIGNMENT must appear at the top task (PROJECT LEVEL) OF YOUR WBS.
• Show at least 3 task detail levels in MOST of the areas of your WBS (Major task level and 2 additional sub-task levels).
• Include appropriate project management tasks, like team meetings, training, and testing tasks in all appropriate areas of the WBS for this particular case study.
• Include all the features you have learned about in your WBS including code numbering.
• Show very manageable tasks at the work package level.
• If you use Word or Excel, submit the actual file. If you use another Gantt software, submit a PDF document. (Screen shots of the WBS are not acceptable.)
General Assignment Guidelines:
While you can use help gained from researching templates found online, your WBS must reflect the content and scale of this project case only! Most templates found online contain too many steps that are not appropriate for project cases we will use in class. Please focus on this problem only and do your best to produce proper documentation on your own that you would submit on the job. You will be graded as though this were a professional assignment, so be sure you think through what would be needed as though you were producing this for your boss!
Note: Do not attempt to produce a project schedule in MS-Project or assign resources for this assignment. You do not have the necessary detail to produce a schedule, estimate times for tasks or assign resources to specific tasks now and you will lose points if you do.
Don’t get distracted with the technology solution – think instead about what you, as a project manager, and your team should do, even if you don’t know how the technology components or project steps will all be at this point. Try to imagine as much detail as you can. If you aren’t familiar with the technology concepts, technical terms or approaches, please ask for help.
There is no single, correct “answer” to this assignment. Rather than make you guess a predetermined solution, you need to think out the problem on your own and develop documentation that you consider best. Grades will depend upon what you have included, how you have structured the documentation, the way you have expressed expectations, constraints, deliverables or other concerns, and the approach you have suggested for organizing and executing the work.
