Week 5 Work Breakdown
Schedule (WBS) Executive Dashboard
A WBS in project management builds on the A3 tool and is a
deliverable-oriented breakdown of your project into smaller components.
Specifically, it supports your key project deliverable that organizes your
project scope and your team’s work to focus and develop the project schedule,
resource requirements, and costs.
Instructions
Create an executive dashboard utilizing your completed A3
with development of a work breakdown structure (WBS).
Based on the A3 tool completed in week 4, develop a WBS
using PowerPoint.
Your WBS should reflect how you, the project manager, plan
to manage the project.
Emphasis must be on meeting project objectives
The larger or more complex the project, the more levels in
the WBS
If work is needed that requires effort or funding, it should
be included in the WBS
It should reflect the total effort and scope of your project
Refer to your text: Martinelli and Milosevic, Project
Management Toolbox, Chapter 5, Scope Planning and reference the required
resources this week for guidance to build your WBS.
You should submit three separate documents for this week:
Executive Dashboard, Work Breakdown Schedule, and PowerPoint Summary of WBS.
