QSO 355 Module Two Activity Guidelines and Rubric

Note: This activity is designed to give you practice in creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) Dictionary, which you will do for your final project in Milestone One. 

 

For an introduction to the WBS, complete the Module Two WBS Dictionary Template for an upcoming dinner. This WBS Dictionary should detail the steps involved in planning and executing a dinner for your family. This template will be the basis for another assignment during Module Five. (You might want to look at the Module Five Activity rubric in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics folder to see how that project is set up.) In any project, the project documents generally are integrated with the same information. In an effort to apply this concept to this course, tasks 2-1 and 5-1 should be completed utilizing the same project details. Please reference task 5-1 to help insure that you are able to properly align your work. The focus here is for you to gain an understanding of the tool. 

 

See the below example videos for background information regarding a WBS:

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 

• WBS ID: Your dinner WBS should break your dinner project down into small deliverables. Each of these deliverables should follow the correct numeric WBS identification. The ID convention is described in the above video links. Each detail of lines 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 should be retained.  

 

• Task Name: Each deliverable needs a name. Each detail of lines 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 should be retained.  

 

• Description: Each deliverable needs a description of the work involved. Each detail of lines 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 should be retained.  

 

Please remember that this assignment is an opportunity for you to show that you understand how a WBS Dictionary is used.
