Project Schedule - (Due on Week 4)

Based on the WBS, the project team has defined the activities required to complete the work packages for each phase of The Tiny House Project. The team will execute the project following the waterfall methodology and will estimate all project activity durations and their sequence to meet the 60 days project completion requirements before developing the project schedule.

[Double-click the image on the next page and use the WBS work package information to define the project tasks and their duration. To facilitate the learning process, students should define a single task to complete each work package.

Follow the Instructions presented in Table A to complete the project schedule.]

Table A: Instructions on How to Create the Project Schedule

StepsInstructions 1For the Project Manager, Jane Doe2For the Project Start Date, 7/3/20233In the Tasks columns, enter the tasks to complete the work packages listed in the WBS. When writing a task, remember tasks should start with an action verb. Also, for purposes of this assignment, you should enter a single task for each work package4In the Task Duration column, enter task durations for each task sequentially to avoid errors. The Total Project Duration should be 60 days or less.5Ensure your Project Schedule duration meets the 60 days schedule constraint.
