The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills related to creation of Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS)
Instructions
Practical 1
Building the WBS for the Doghouse Project
Step 1. Partition the project into its major activities (here, we are using a verb-oriented
approach).
Step 2. Partition the major activities into work tasks.
The major activities are filled in for you under the first level of the outline (that is, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and
so on). In Step 2, the first four major activities have been entered, but the rest of the outline has not
been filled in.
Below the outline is a list of the remaining activities and work tasks, in random order. Use this
outline and put these items into the outline in correct order. You may need to use some items more
than once.
Note: for the purposes of this example, the activities and work tasks have deliberately been kept
simple. Note, too, that you already have the design for the doghouse (activity 1.1). You don't need to
do anything more to obtain it.
