You have been assigned as the overall project manager for this important initiative. Your supporting team consists of 14 members (not counting contractors), including two outside consultants supporting the business system and wireless upgrade. Now that you have been given this important assignment, here are your next steps.

1. Identify what you deem to be the client requirements.
2. Using the requirements list, put together a work breakdown structure (WBS) that identifies all project deliverables.
3. Identify the activities (tasks) required to produce each project deliverable.
4. When identifying project activities, highlight each that may be expected to require the same resources to be carried out in parallel. These highlights will be your first clue that the management of the project can be expected to require some complex maneuvering.
