Topic: Fixing the payment system at Alvalade stadium WBS and WBSD

This group assignment is to create the project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Work Breakdown Structure Dictionary (WBSD) for the selected Case Study. Remember that each team will continue working on the same case study for all team assignments throughout the term. Please review the attached WBS assignment guidance & WBS example.

Instructions for the assignment from professor

Overview and Rationale

Now that you have a scope document that defines the project's deliverables, you will create a detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) document and create a WBS.

WBS - A document that provides detailed information about required project work.Specifically, the WBS is a graphical representation of the project's deliverables, related milestones, work packages and activities.

WBS Dictionary - The WBS Dictionary (WBSD) describes each component of the WBS with related milestones, deliverables, activities - and sometimes dates, required resources, costs and required deliverable quality.

Program and Course Outcomes

The following learning objectives are addressed through this assignment:

• Decompose project scope by building a detailed WBS
• Understand the value of the WBS dictionary (WBSD) to ensure project scope quality: Create a WBS dictionary
• Understand the project baseline concept to define and effectively communicate agreed-upon project scope

In addition to these key learning outcomes, you will also have the opportunity to evidence the following skills through completing this assignment:

• Critical thinking and analysis
• Problem solving

Essential Components

For this assignment, you will develop a detailed WBS, based on the project's case overview, identified project requirements, deliverables and their defined completion criteria. Moreover, you will also develop a WBS dictionary (WBSD) and discuss potential project tradeoffs.

a. Your WBS must:

• Identify at least 5 Major deliverables (Level 2 WBS) [Note: Best practice - Project Management is a level 2 Major Deliverable]5 pt
• Decompose at least 2 Major deliverables into 4 sub-deliverables each (usually a Level 3 WBS Element). 3 pt
• Decompose 2 Sub-deliverables into required work packages. [Note: Please present at least 5 but no more than 10 total work packages]. Moreover, all work packages should be written as tangible deliverables and have a testable completion criterion. If there are no obvious work packages, include tasks. The total of work packages and tasks together should be 5-10. 2 pt

b. The WBSD must: (See examples in Practice Standard for WBS tables 3.2-3.5)

• Detailed definition of 10 project deliverables (Noun format)- levels 2, 3, & 4 deliverables (refer to WBS assignment requirements above). Include: level; WBS Code; Element Name; Definition; Responsible Organization/Person 3 pt
• Detailed definition of 5 work packages identified in the WBS. Include WBS Code, Task or Work Package Name; Definition. If this is a work package, define the tasks to be done within it. 2 pt

Assignment Format

• Use the tabular form or outline form of a WBS (like entered into MS Project)
• WBS Dictionary (WBSD) is best represented as an MS Word Table.
