MGMT 640: Project Management – Individual Assignment (5%)

Individual Assignment: WBS & Schedule Development

Select any project of your choosing and develop a detailed project schedule, displaying, precedence diagraming, milestones, and project life cycle.

The project schedule should include at least three major tasks (or subprojects) and have a depth of 2-3 layers, excluding the head box where you state your project names.

You will first need to develop a work breakdown structure (WBS). Recall that the WBS is used as the foundation of any project planning work, including scheduling. Be sure to enter all WBS layers into your MS Project file. To learn how this is done, study one or more of the MS Project templates. You need to enter durations and predecessors of only the planning level tasks. The higher levels will be calculated and populated by the software automatically. Take the time to experiment with this feature.

Submit a single Project Schedule file in the assignment’s drop box no later than the deadline specified.

Note: If you wish to access MS Project from home, instead of university computers, you can download the free trial as per the instructions in week 4
