Break down the work to level 3 or level 4, as appropriate. Use the wbs.doc template provided below as well as samples in the text as guides. Save the WBS in list form as a Word file. Be sure to base your WBS on the project scope statement you created, stakeholder requirements, and other relevant information. Remember to include the work involved in selecting the rest of your project team and outside resources as well as coordinating with the cloud-computing providers. Use the project management process groups as level 2 WBS items or include project management as a level 2 WBS item to make sure you include work related to managing the project. The execution stage which comprises the bulk of the work done on your project should list all of the services your are migrating individually within the WBS to include the system, data migration, and testing of each system listed in the cloud computing case. Migration should be staged and not done simultaneously for all of the systems.

Example of what should be included in the execution phase:

3.0 Server Migration

3.1 Order Processing (2 weeks to complete)

3.1.1 Migrating server to cloud (4 days)

3.1.2 Migrating Data (2 days)

3.1.3 OP Systems Software Installation (3 days)

3.1.4 Testing (3 days)

3.2 Accounts Payable (2.5 weeks to complete)

3.2.1 Migrating server to cloud (4 days)

3.2.2 Migrating Data (5 days)

3.2.3 AP Systems Software Installation (4 days)

3.2.4 Testing (5 days)

3.3 next system- Etc,

These are the systems that are listed in the case to be migrated: (order processing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, finance, purchasing, sales, company web site, and product support)

For the Monitoring and Controlling section those tasks are ongoing and happen concurrent to the Planning and Execution phases. This is how a project is kept on time and on budget.

5. Closing (2 weeks to complete)

5.1 Audit Procurement (.5 week)

5.2 Document Lessons Learned (.5 week)

What I need to fix:

I provided you exact examples for two of the systems for the executing phase? You did not list any of the systems that are being migrated? Every system that is being migrated has to be listed. Additionally, the monitoring and controlling phase is ongoing throughout the project until the closing phase. This is how you keep your project on time and within budget. Monitoring happens concurrently to the other phases. Please update and update your WBS and Gantt chart to reflect these tasks for an updated grade.
