Assignment 2
Question 1 (30 Points)
Create a WBS for the planning part of a children's birthday party (assume the children are between 8 and 12 years old). Define the "deliverables", such as food, and then create a WBS with at least three levels (two below the root.)
Question 2 (10 Points)
For the above WBS, define the activities and create a list of activities in an Google spreadsheet.
Question 3 (10 Points)
For the above activities, create cost and time estimates (both duration and effort) and provide a total cost and time for the "project." If you are outsourcing certain activities, be sure to include labor as a cost, not just materials.
Question 4 (50 Points)
Working in groups of 2-3 students, prepare a presentation on a project management tool. Be sure to announce your tool selection in class, so that no two groups pick the same tool. Part of your presentation must include a demo of how you enter your activity list and estimates for cost and time as well as resource assignments into your tool. Each team members MUST enter their own activities, costs, and times into the tool, but you only need to present one.
