How to create a WBS for a Renovation Project?
How to create a Project Proposal: Execution, Control, and Closure?
Week 8
For this assignment, you will create Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). To create your WBS, you may use MS Word, MS Excel, Visio, or any other visual format that allows for graphical elements to be included. (See Figure 4.4 from Chapter 4 of your Project Management: The Managerial Process textbook). Alternatively, you may use a coded format using MS Word. (See Exhibit 4.1 – Coding the WBS from Chapter 4 of your Project Management: The Managerial Process textbook as an example. The example is in MS Project format, but the same could be done in MS Excel).
Instructions
Each of the following should be included in your WBS submission:
1. Create a WBS which contains graphical elements of the project scope including the project, major deliverables, and supporting deliverables. WBS should be easy to read and contain consistent formatting throughout.
2. Create a depiction of the project within the WBS.
· One Level 1 is provided describing the complete project.
· Three Level 2s are provided describing major deliverables.
· Three Level 3s are provided describing supporting deliverables.
· Two Level 4s are provided with the lowest manageable responsibility level.
3. For each of the identified deliverables (identified in the four levels from item #2), create a project schedule containing all activities from levels 1-4. Each activity should contain a start and end date and a list of resources required to complete the project.
4. Provide a minimum of three pieces of information that need to be communicated to stakeholders. For each of the three pieces – which creates an example of a project network – you should address who will be targeted; when they will receive the communication; what will be communicated; and how it will be communicated.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Week10
Now, it is time for you to discuss your project's challenges (e.g., risks), performance management plan (e.g., earned value management), and proposed plan for closing the project when it is done.
Instructions
Write a 4-6 page paper in which you define the execution, control, and closure aspects of your chosen project. In your paper you must:
1. Create a plan for project oversight that includes identifying the project's greatest challenges and mitigation recommendations. The plan should also include a rationale for why the selected challenges are the greatest challenges and why the chosen mitigation recommendations were made.
2. Provide specific and detailed information on how you will measure project performance. Define how the project will be measured and include at least three key EVM metrics that will be used to determine progress and performance success. This should also include a rationale for why those specific metrics were chosen.
3. Create a plan for closing the project properly that includes details on how that closure will be coordinated with any necessary stakeholders.
4. Create a performance evaluation to measure project effectiveness that includes scope, cost, time, and quality.
5. Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides .

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
· Develop a process for measuring the progress of a project, providing oversight, coordinating project closure, and determining project effectiveness.
