I chose to plan a party.

1) You are required to submit a report of your project

· Project goal – clearly stated – what is the project; duration in days/weeks/months; start and finish dates; total cost ($).

· Discuss the various tasks and sub tasks – these should be explained and not just listed

3) Create a Project Summary Task Bar and a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with Summary Tasks
