This is the second of four assignments which, as a whole, will cover all aspects of the project life cycle relevant to your selected project.

Now, it is time to develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) and project schedule for the project that you discussed in your Project Proposal assignment.

Instructions

This assignment requires you to:

• Create a WBS for your project using the proper format (MS Word, MS Excel, Visio, or any other applicable format) to depict the WBS graphically (see Figure 4.1 from Chapter 4 of Successful Project Management). Alternatively, you may use a coded format using MS Word (see Figure 4.3 from Chapter 4 of Successful Project Management: as an example). The example is in MS Project format, but the same could be done in MS Excel.
• Create a project schedule that lists all of the core activities, dates (start and finish), and resources to complete your project. While it is recommended that you use MS Project, you can use MS Excel to create your schedule. Your project schedule must contain at least 30 separate activities or tasks, including the critical path.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) and schedule for a project using appropriate digital tools (Word, Excel, Project, Visio, etc.).

Note: This is the second of four assignments which, as a whole, will cover all aspects of the project life cycle relevant to your selected project.

Now, it is time to develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and project schedule for the project that you discussed in Assignment 1.

Tips to maximize points EARNED:

#1 Create a WBS and #2 Create a project schedule (see below instructions) are two separate items presented in ONE integrated document format. See the specific example noted below.

• The WBS is a specific format (rows and column headers) that includes a specific numbering format (see example provide below and examples provided in the reading material or check the Internet for WBS examples).
• The project schedule references start and finish dates, Resources (professionals hired/vendors contracted to do the work or deliver supplies (per specific task) or equipment or non-human resources needed to complete a task AND critical path (make sure you read up on this important marker).

The assignment 2 instructions are:

1. Create a WBS for your project using the proper format (MS Word, MS Excel, Visio, or any other applicable format) to depict WBS graphically (see Figure 4.1 from Chapter 4 of the Gedo textbook). Alternatively, you may use a coded format using MS Word (see Figure 4.3 from Chapter 4 of the Gido textbook as an example). The example is in MS Project format but the same could be done in MS Excel.
2. Create a project schedule that lists all of the core activities, dates (start and finish), and resources to complete your project. While it is recommended that you use MS Project, you can use MS Excel to create your schedule. Your project schedule must contain at least 30 separate activities/tasks.
3. Ensureyou also list which tasks are on the critical path (this requirement is part of RUBRIC grading)
