Exercise Title: Building a Website Exercise Description: As a project manager, you have been assigned to oversee the development of a website for a fictitious company called "TechCo." The website will serve as an online platform for the company's products and services. Your task is to create a comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for this project. Instructions: 1. Begin by identifying the major phases or deliverables of the project. These could include planning, design, development, testing, and deployment. 2. Break down each major phase into smaller, more manageable components. For example, under the planning phase, you might include tasks such as conducting market research, defining project objectives, and creating a project schedule. 3. Continue decomposing each component into further sub-components until you reach a level where tasks can be easily understood and estimated. For instance, under the design phase, you could have sub-components such as creating wireframes, designing the user interface, and developing graphic assets. 4. Organize the WBS using a hierarchical structure. Use indentation or numbering to represent the different levels of decomposition. 5. Review your WBS to ensure that it is comprehensive, includes all necessary tasks, and follows a logical flow. Note: Feel free to use any software or tools of your choice to create the WBS (e.g., Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, project management software, or even pen and paper). Additional Tips: - Consider involving key stakeholders or team members in the exercise to gather their input and ensure a more accurate WBS. - Remember to consider all project management aspects, such as resource allocation, time estimates, and dependencies between tasks. - Use action verbs to describe each task and make them clear and actionable. Remember, a WBS is a visual representation of the project scope, allowing you to break down the work into manageable tasks. This exercise will help you practice your decomposition skills and understand the hierarchical structure of a WBS.
