University of Maryland Global Campus WBS Lab Exercise

0 comments

This lab assignment gives you a chance to practice creating a WBS within your chosen PM software tool.

Requirements

  • Create a WBS in your chosen PM tool
  • Instructions

  • This lab assignment follows the construction example described in the MS Project Tutorial in your textbook, appendix B.
  • [NOTE: I am NOT asking you to work through the entire tutorial in Appendix B!!! The objective is for each student to show evidence of having selected, downloaded/installed (if necessary) a PM tool, and get your feet wet entering just the WBS into the tool. This is a very simple assignment and should take only a few minutes once you have selected and installed the PM software of your choice.] Please don’t over-think it.

  • Your WBS should be created in your chosen PM tool for the tasks listed below
    • Submit your document to the instructor via Canvas as a .pdf file
  • Notes
