Project Management $$ Scope and Work Breakdown Structure $$ Part $2$: Planning

TOPIC: $1-$Week Summer Camp

Objective: Develop a comprehensive project plan including scope and work breakdown structure. Stimulates critical thinking, collaboration, problem$-$solving, and coursework integration.

$$

Group Project Scope Statement:

$$ Groups refine the project concept from Part $1.$

$$ Students may use lecture notes, textbook readings, and internet research information as needed.

$$ Collaboratively create a detailed project scope statement, including objectives, deliverables, constraints, and assumptions.

$$ Define the project boundaries and acceptance criteria.

$$ Use the $$Project Scope Statement Table$$ below to record and organise your information. The table is filled with information that should be included $$ please remove this and add your data.

Collaborative Work Breakdown Structure $($WBS$)$:

$$ Use the scope statement to collaboratively create a WBS for the project.

$$ Break down the project into tasks and sub$-$tasks with a hierarchical structure as a group.

$$ Assign specific WBS elements to each group member for further detailed planning.

$$ Use the $$Work Breakdown Structure $($WBS$)$ Chart$$ below to record and organise your information. The chart is filled with the type of information that should be included $$ please remove this and add your own data.
