Working INDIVIDUALY, develop a Preliminary WBS and its Dictionary, using MS-Project, that illustrates the possible structure of the project work hierarchy, starting from general concepts level down to detailed Work Packages, that you recommend at this stage for your project.

The WBS shall include the deliverables you initially identified in your charter/preliminary scope document, with emphasis on specific project tasks (not generic development tasks).

You may include additional ones as you judge necessary.

Remember that you do not have the complete details of the project at this point, so do not attempt to infer what these would be use only the information you have to develop a preliminary list of work in the form of a WBS. A subsequent assignment will ask you to refine these or add more activities.

A. The Initial WBS Deliverable Content

THE FILE NAME of the submitted assignment must appear at the top level of your WBS

Show at least 3 work detail levels in MOST of the areas of your WBS; (i.e. Major Work Level and 2 additional sub-task levels).

Additionally, you will need to include appropriate project management tasks; such as team meetings, training and testing tasks in all appropriate areas of the WBS for this particular case study.

Include all the features you have learned in class about WBS including code numbering.

Show manageable tasks at the Work Package level

Prepare only the WBS in MS Excel. That will include full list of activities, resource loadings, costing, etc.

Please ignore Part 2 of the case problem for now, other than the WBS part.

Think as a Project Manager about what work your team should do, without getting distracted with the technology solution. You do not know how the technology components will all be at this point

B. Simple WBS Dictionary Content

Prepare a WBS Dictionary, for the WBS created in part A, for your project. Use the template provided with this assignment and complete all fields. (Estimated Duration and Estimated Cost are OPTIONAL)

There should be at least 15 tasks in your WBS Dictionary, selected from various parts of your project. These must be tasks specific to the project, not generic tasks.
