ITP-2i - WBS w/ Durations
Instructions
The purpose of this Individual project is to develop the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the ITP project. This involves hierarchically itemizing all the tasks that, when completed, result in the successful completion of the project defined in the charter and other documents. Put another way, the scope of the project as defined in the charter and other documents will be accomplished if and when all the WBS tasks are accomplished. In addition (an extension beyond typical WBSs), each work task in the WBS must also have its work duration estimated. That is, we need to know an estimate of how long it will take to do each task. (Group summary tasks higher up in the hierarchy need not be estimated, as later on, their durations will be automatically rolled up and calculated by MS Project.) Since this is an Individual project you must do your own work. First -- Review the introduction and overview of the Integrated Team Project at ----ITP-Instructions-and-Rubrics.htm . Then -- For instructions and complete assignment details and rubric, see: http://polaris.umuc.edu/~kschank/----ITP-Instructions-and-Rubrics.htm#ITP2

Rubric Name: ITP2 - Work Breakdown Structure with Durations


Criteria	Exceeds Requirements - 9 to 10 Points	Above Average; 8 - 8.9 points	Meets Requirements; 7 - 7.9 Points	Does not meet all requirements; 6 - 6.9 Points
WBS Structure, Durations and Questions	7 points All requirements of the assignment are met and exceed. The WBS includes more than at least 10 major tasks and at least 60 lower level tasks in 4 sub-levels (major task, sub-task, sub-sub task, sub-sub-sub task). The tasks are ALL single verb statements, and subtasks (lower level tasks) are indented to the appropriate level. The WBS is logical, complete, and flows well from beginning to end. The WBS includes a title line. A final task (with no sub-tasks) defines the end of the project. The WBS has durations for lowest-level leaf node tasks (work packages). Group summary roll-up tasks have no hard-coded durations assigned (though if MS Project is used, it may automatically calculate their durations). Durations include minutes, hours, days, and weeks in whole numbers (no decimals!). There should be a project header with the name of the project and zero duration. (Note: this is not the same as the start task). There should be a single start task and a single end task, both with zero duration. MS Project is used (vice MS Word or Excel), the Notes feature is used to provide supplemental information, and at least two other features of Microsoft Project have been used and discussed in the text document. "Dangerous" MS Project features are not used. All questions in Part 3 are answered in a writing style appropriate for a senior level course; background is included and decisions and reasoning for decisions are included.	5.9 points All requirements are met and some requirements are exceeded. The WBS includes 8-10 major tasks and 40-60 total tasks. The tasks are verb statements, with 4 or fewer tasks that do not begin with a verb or 4 or fewer that are double verbs. Subtasks are indented to the appropriate level. The WBS is logical and flows well from beginning to end. The WBS includes a project name or a title line with zero duration. A final task (with no sub-tasks) defines the end of the project with zero duration. The WBS has durations for lowest-level leaf node tasks (work packages). Group summary roll-up tasks have no hard-coded durations assigned (though if MS Project is used, it may automatically calculate their durations). Durations include hours, days, and weeks in whole numbers (no decimals!). There should be a single start task and a single end task, both with zero duration. MS Project is used (vice MS Excel). " Dangerous " MS Project features are not used. All Part 3 questions are answered.	4.9 points All requirements are met. The WBS includes 7-9 major tasks and 30-40 total tasks. The tasks are verb statements, with 7 or fewer tasks that do not begin with a verb or 5 or fewer that are double verbs. Subtasks are indented to the appropriate level with 5 or fewer that are not at the appropriate level. The WBS is logical and flows well from beginning to end. A final task (with no sub-tasks) defines the end of the project. Additionally, the WBS is logical and flows well from beginning to end. WBS has durations for lowest-level leaf node tasks (work packages). Group summary roll-up tasks have no hard-coded durations assigned (though if MS Project is used, it may automatically calculate their durations). Durations include minutes, hours, days, and weeks in whole numbers (no decimals!). There should be a project name with zero duration. (Note: this is not the same as the start task). There should be a single start task and a single end task, both with zero duration. (Note: this is not the same as the project name). All questions are answered.	4 points The WBS includes fewer than 7 major tasks and fewer than 14 lower level tasks. More than more than 7 tasks do not begin with a verb or are double verbs. More than 5 subtasks are not indented to the appropriate level. The WBS is not sequential or does not follow a logical order. The WBS does not include a final task. Additionally, the WBS is logical and flows well from beginning to end. WBS has durations for lowest-level leaf node tasks (work packages). Group summary roll-up tasks have no hard-coded durations assigned (though if MS Project is used, it may automatically calculate their durations). Durations include minutes, hours, days, and weeks in whole numbers (no decimals!). There should be a project name with zero duration. (Note: this is not the same as the start task). There should be a single start task and a single end task, both with zero duration. (Note: this is not the same as the project header root task). All questions are answered.
References and Sources	1.5 points The textbook and at least 2 references are used from academically credible sources are used to help build the WBS.
