Your team must develop the following as part of this assignment:

$1.$ WBS Dictionary $($one WBS dictionary, i$.$e$.,$ chose one branch of the WBS$,$ chose one work package, and develop the WBS

dictionary$)$

$2.$ Activity List: For each work package your group should brainstorm and list minimum five activities that must completed to

produce the work package deliverable.

$3.$ Activity Attributes $($based on ONE WBS dictionary, develop activity attributes for ONE of the activities of the work package$).$

$4.$ Estimate the activity durations for all the activities in your project using PERT.

Following provides an overview on the above topics. Additional information can be found in the course text, lectures notes, PMI

web site and internet sources.

$1.$ WBS Dictionary

The WBS dictionary is a document that provides detailed deliverable, activity, and scheduling information about each component

in the WBS$.$ It contains the following information:

$$ Description of work

$$ Code of account identifier,

$$ Assumptions and constraints,

$$ Responsible organization,

$$ Schedule milestones,

$$ Associated schedule activities,

$$ Resources required,

$$ Cost estimates,

$$ Quality requirements,

$$ Acceptance criteria,

$$ Technical references, and

$$ Agreement information

As you can conclude, the WBS dictionary is not finalized until all the project planning activities are completed.

$2.$ Activity List

Define activities is the process of identifying and documenting the specific actions or activities to be performed to produce the

project deliverables.

For each work package your group should brainstorm and list minimum five activities that must completed to produce the

work package deliverable.

$3.$ Activity Attributes

Based on the WBS dictionary you chosen, develop activity attributes for ONE the activities of the work package.

During the initial stages of the project, they include the activity identifier $($ID$),$ WBS ID$,$ and activity label or name.

When completed, may include activity codes, activity description, predecessor activities, successor activities, logical

relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, imposed dates, constraints, and assumptions, etc
