project management
Problem 1 When it comes to planning a project, the work breakdown structure is one of the first things a project manager has to work on. A work breakdown structure is a popular project management tool. Hence, It's a diagram that helps break down large projects into smaller and more manageable parts which contain the project deliverables or outcomes that will complete the project. Benefits of Work Breakdown Structures • Visualizes the scope of the project, making it easier to do the planning • Makes it easier to assign responsibilities accurately to the project team • Helps with identifying the project milestones and control points • Helps with estimating the time and cost for the project and allocating resources • Helps set clear timelines for the project and ensure that no work is duplicated or overlooked Based on what has been discussed in the class, choose a project (Any project whether it was from the construction industry or even from your day-to-day life), and create a semi-detailed WBS with a WBS dictionary. The WBS dictionary should include information such as work package name and ID, and a brief description of each element (you don't have to include the name of the person it is assigned to, due date, estimated cost, etc.). Although, since there are many ways that you can present the WBS for your project (Outline View, Hierarchical Structure View, Tabular View, and Tree Structure View); for this assignment, you can choose the view that you think will better represent your work. Your submission should have at least a couple of paragraphs describing the project that you intend to work on. Feel free to pass it by me to check your project while you're working on it.
