Instructions
The purpose of the Week 6 Individual Assignment is to become familiar with MS Project and to use this software to develop an initial project outline for your group project using the WBS developed in your group assignment. Note that the Week 5 Overview has links to videos that are useful for this assignment.
The project’s WBS, at the work package level, becomes the basis for identifying and defining the project activities needed to complete the work of the project, whether you have broken down the work of the project by phase or deliverable. These activities are then used in the process of estimating duration and resources, and ultimately the cost of the activities. The project outline is further elaborated as new information is considered in the project planning.
Using MS Project and the information resulting from the WBS of the group project, create a new project file and enter the WBS information (WBS code and title of project phase, deliverable, work package) through the work package level. See the example below.
