Project Scope and Schedule instructions
The purpose of this assignment it to identify project scope and develop an IT project schedule.
You will use Microsoft Project and Excel to complete this assignment.
Part 1
Complete the “Work Breakdown Structure Template” using the information from the textbook
provided below. Break the work down to Level 3 or Level 4, as appropriate for the project. Review
Figure 5-3, Figure 5-4, from the information provided.
Enter the work breakdown structure (WBS) in Microsoft Project by creating a new Microsoft
Project file titled “Global Treps Project Rev 0.”
Part 2
1. Use the “Global Treps Project Tasks” template to create the work breakdown structure for
the new Microsoft Project file, then save as Rev 1 for the assignment.
2. Use the “Global Treps Project Durations Template” to compute the program evaluation
review technique (PERT) weighted average durations (in days) for the lowest level tasks for
the Global Treps project. Round answers to the nearest whole number.
3. Edit the Microsoft Project file and call it “Global Treps Project Rev 1.” Manually enter the
PERT weighted average durations you calculated into the “Duration” field in the Microsoft
Project file. Do not copy and paste this information from the “Global Treps Project
Durations Template” file.
4. Assume that you have previously met with your team to identify the immediate
predecessors for each lowest level task and that this information has been recorded in the
“Global Treps Project Predecessor Template.” Using the information in the “Global Treps
Project Predecessor Template,” assign the required predecessors to each lower level task
in the “Global Treps Project Rev 1” Microsoft Project file. Note that every lowest level task,
with the exception of the first task, should have a predecessor and a successor, with the
exception of the last task.
5. Ensure that “Summary” tasks (bold tasks) do not have predecessors or successors
assigned to them.
6. In the Microsoft Project “Global Treps Project Rev 1” file, indicate the critical path for the
Global Treps Project.
7. Submit the “Work Breakdown Structure Template,” “Global Treps Project Durations
Template,” the “Global Treps Project Rev 0,” and “Global Treps Project Rev 1” Microsoft
Project files.
Work Breakdown Structure Template
Directions: Complete the template using information from the project charter. Break the work
down to Level 3 or Level 4, as appropriate for the project.
