Q Project Work Breakdown Structure Introduction: A primary task in the development of a project plan is breaking down all of the tasks so that no steps are missed. A work breakdown structure is a systematic list of the elements that need to be done as the project progresses. Most projects have multiple levels of tasks, so the tasks will have sub-tasks. For instance, if the task is “cleaning the car” then sub tasks might be vacuuming the interior, soaping/scrub exterior, rinse off and finally, towel drying. The interior vac, might also have sub tasks of throwing out trash, washing interior windows and wiping down the dash. The soaping/exterior might have an additional sub-task of pretreating tire rims. Unit Learning Outcome(s) Reflected in assignment: • Create a Work Breakdown Structure for a project (CLO 3) Directions: For the project plan you are developing, 1. develop a Work Breakdown Structure using either an outline, hierarchal, tabular or tree structure format for your WBS o Aa good source for examples is: http://www.projectmanagementdocs.com/project-planning-templates/work-breakdown-structure-wbs.htmlLinks to an external site. 2. The main tasks should be structured using the five headings o Initiation o Planning o Execution o Control o Closeout 3. Your WBS can be formatted in a Word file using a Word table or Word shapes with text boxes, in PowerPoint or in Excel, but import the content you develop into a Word document so it can readily become part of your final plan.

The format is well developed with very good detail of tasks under the headings of Initiation, Planning, Execution, Control and Closeout. 17 to >13.0 pts Exceeds Expectations The Work Breakdown Structure uses either an outline, hierarchical, tabular or tree structure format. The format is fairly well developed with good detail of tasks under the headings of Initiation, Planning, Execution, Control and Closeout. 13 to >9.0 pts Meets Expectations The Work Breakdown Structure uses either an outline, hierarchical, tabular or tree structure format. The format is fair development with good detail of most tasks under the headings of Initiation, Planning, Execution, Control and Closeout. 9 to >5.0 pts Does Not Meet Expectations The Work Breakdown Structure uses either an outline, hierarchical, tabular or tree structure format but does not use the format correctly. The format is not well developed with little detail of tasks under the headings of Initiation, Planning, Execution, Control and Closeout. 5 to >0 pts Unacceptable The Work Breakdown Structure does not use either an outline, hierarchical, tabular or tree structure format. The format used is not appropriate and/ or lacks detail of tasks. It may not have the headings of Initiation, Planning, Execution, Control and Closeout. 20 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeWriting and APA 5 pts The exercise has been thoroughly spell checked and proofread with almost no writing/ grammar errors.
