Resource: Scenarios
Choose a scenario from one of the 3 scenarios provided and submit a paper of 650 words (your 2 diagrams do not count in the word count).
Include the following items in your paper:
- Identify the scope of the project. Note: do not just repeat exactly what the scenario states….use your own words to tell me what the project will cover.
- Discuss the needs of the stakeholders involved in the project.
- Create a WBS diagram/chart for the project. The WBS should look like a hierarchy chart (i.e. looks like an organization chart with boxes, lines, etc….this can be built in Powerpoint or other tools) and the diagram/chart should be included within the paper. (not as an attachment)…you need to provide at least 4 levels (i.e. X.X.X.X) of detail on the WBS diagram.
- List/discuss necessary tools and techniques for the project. For example are you using MS Project to manage the effort or is a technique going to be using the Waterfall development approach.
- List/discuss the milestones for the project. Note: make sure you understand what a milestone is…not every activity/task is a project milestone.
- Sequence the activities/tasks in a diagram. Include the diagram within the paper (not as an attachment). Note that this is a seperate diagram from the WBS; the WBS does not show sequence. The sequence diagram can be done in MS Project, MS Powerpoint, or other tools that will allow you to sequence the activities.
