***For Professor Nancy***

Good evening, at this point you may be wondering what is required for this assignment.  Prior to attempting the assignment, please read the required reading and follow that up by accessing the following link:  http://spverma.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/creating-excel-wbs/ The assignment is asking you to develop a project plan based on the Project Case and the Work Break Down structure (WBS)  developed from the previous assignment.  The information can be located in Doc Sharing.  Each task has a specific time for completion.  You as the project manager will determine how long each task will take.  If you are unable to gain access to Microsoft Project, you are permitted to develop your WBS using Microsoft Excel. For further understanding, the assignment is asking you to transfer the information from last week's assignment into a program that is specific to the discipline of project management.  Each task has a main task.  For example, painting would have sub tasks that would be notated by 1.0, 1.1,1.2.  This means that everything that involves painting would follow under 1.  Moving on to another task such as installing flooring would be notated by 2.0,2.1, 2.2, and so on. To add the resource name: If you go to the view column and then click on Resources it will bring up columns for you to enter the resources.  After you do this you can add the resources to each field by going to Insert and selecting the Resource(s) for that job.
