Work Breakdown Structure for a Wedding
(Individual project)
Overview
The purpose of this Individual assignment is to develop a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). NOTE: You
will need Microsoft Project for this assignment. Since this will be an introduction to Microsoft Project,
the scope of the WBS is relatively small.
Assignment for the Wedding WBS
The scenario is this – Your best friend asked you to help plan a wedding in another city. You have no
concern for schedule or budget at the moment, only defining the work that needs to be done for the
wedding to start on time and to be successful. There will be up to 100 guests.
As there are different ways to organize a WBS, you should choose one of the patterns below. This WBS
can be organized by functions or by physical locations, choose just one. Of course, there are other
patterns that could be used but these look like logical choices for this project.

Things to remember:

First, change the MS-Project default configuration settings, see the Project Configuration
Settings section in “Project Tutorials” (Course Resources → Microsoft Project).

Don’t go overboard on details, i.e., no need to go deeper than WBS Level 3.

Even though this is a small project, make sure you have enough details, i.e., enough sub-tasks to
show how you will complete the Summary Task deliverable.

Do indent sub-tasks, see the Adding Tasks to the Schedule section in “Project Tutorials” (Course
Resources → Microsoft Project).

Show the WBS column, see Show the Project WBS Numbers section in “Project Tutorials”
(Course Resources → Microsoft Project).

Work Breakdown Structure for a Wedding
(Individual project)

Follow task naming conventions, see “How to Build Work Breakdown Structures” (Week 1 →
Readings)
o
A sub-task should be named using verb, adjective and noun – there is action performed.
o
A Summary task should be named using noun / adjective structure (NO VERBS) – it
describes what will be delivered instead of what work will be done.

No blank rows, i.e.,

Summary tasks and sub-tasks should address only one (not multiple) deliverable (or action).

Never use full sentences in the Task Name column of the schedule.
IMPORTANT: The submission file should be named as “LastnameFirstname AssignmentName”, such as MylastnameMyfirstname WBS for a Wedding.mpp
