Choose a project to work with. It can be a simple project.

Using any format you prefer, create a WBS for your project.

As discussed in this module, your WBS should show a hierarchical structure. Each level in the

hierarchy should contain successively more detail. All the steps that need to be completed should be

shown.

Include logical numbering to indicate in which order the steps should be completed. It is not necessary

to explicitly indicate precedence.

Use the WBS you created and translate it into a project network. You can do this in PowerPoint, in

Word, or in Visio.

Identify the activities. You should be able to identify at least $10$ to $12$ tasks.

Identify the durations of the activities. Ask yourself how sure you are about those durations. Indicate

whether your certainty is high, medium, or low.

Identify the precedence between the activities. $($In other words, indicate which activities have to be

done before something else can be done.$)$

Identify the critical path.

Identify the smallest amount of time for the project to be completed, the longest amount of time, and

the most likely.

Construct a Gantt chart for your project.

Identify some of the sources of uncertainty related to task durations.

Indicate how you can use float information to help you improve your decision making on this project.

What does float information tell you?
