High-Level Assumptions and Constraints:

· List of options are limited and cost of the house would vary based on options selected

· Client must choose one model among the models offered

· Seven-year warranty for structure and two-year warranty for finishing components

When this charter was developed, Suburban Homes did not have complete information on all the customer requirements and needs and complete understanding of the project. The company realizes that the milestone schedule is not accurate and will be subject to changes.

Tasks to Complete:

You are asked to obtain requirements from the client. To do so, Suburban Homes requests that you develop a Requirements Template that will capture all the needs of the client. Then, Suburban Homes will have complete information to develop a scope plan.

Develop a scope statement along with inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and constraints. Develop a deliverable-based (design-focused) Work Break- down Structure (WBS) for this project.
