As seen during our class, the WBS can be a very powerful tool to define clearly what is the scope of your project.
I propose you to choose a real and simple project from your professional or personal life and perform the following activities:
•Define what is your project (it can be anything you want) and what is the product, service or result expected from it
•Document the requirements of the product or service created by your project
•Then represent the entire scope of your project work in a WBS (Work breakdown Structure). Make your WBS go down as many levels as you consider you need in order to be able to measure and control your project.
•Create a Gantt chart in Excel or MS Project (or equivalent software) for your project.
