Note: Developing a project requires specific steps that must be carried out in a certain order. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
- Competency 2: Develop the planning process of a project.
- Create a comprehensive scope document, including items within and outside of established project boundaries.
- Analyze requirements, constraints, and assumptions included in a scope document.
- Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) that identifies relevant deliverables, tasks, and task dependencies necessary for a successful project.
- Competency 6: Communicate effectively.
- Communicate effectively in a professional manner consistent with the standards and conventions of project management.
- As
you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about
other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your
viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and
discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested
friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these
questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need
to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.SHOW LESSWhen
breaking down tasks, sometimes it is easy to forget a subtask or to not
break the subtasks down far enough. In addition, once broken down, it
is important to ensure that the smaller pieces are organized
appropriately. Consider one of the tasks from your project using the WBS
process:
- Is it broken down into the smallest manageable tasks and sequenced appropriately? Is there a risk to breaking down tasks too much?
- What project processes are likely to suffer the most for a poorly scoped project? Why? Is this true for all types of projects?
- ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONSOVERVIEWProject ScopeA
project scope document defines and controls what is and is not included
in a project. Scope definition involves dividing major deliverables
into smaller, more manageable components. Remember, your scope statement
forms the basis for agreement between the project and the project
stakeholders by identifying both the project objectives and
deliverables. This information can also be used to create a work
breakdown structure and project schedule for the project.Your scope
definition should:
- Improve accuracy of cost, duration, and resource estimates.
- Define a baseline for performance measurement and control.
- Facilitate clear assignment of responsibilities.
- Scope Document: Use the Scope Statement Template found in the Resources to create the scope for your project. Make modifications and add information as needed to the template to ensure the scope statement is exactly as you want it.
- Work Breakdown Structure: Prepare a WBS for your course project. Remember, you must first break down your project into major work elements, noting who is responsible for each. You must also consider if the work element is concurrently done with another work element, or if it is it in a series and cannot start until the previous element is completed. This activity will start to define your timeline and critical path.
