Work Breakdown Structure for a Wedding (Individual project)
WBS for a Wedding Spring 2024 Page 1 of 2
Overview
The purpose of this Individual assignment is to develop a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). NOTE: You will need Microsoft Project for this assignment. Since this will be an introduction to Microsoft Project, the scope of the WBS is relatively small.
Assignment for the Wedding WBS
The scenario is this – Your best friend asked you to help plan a wedding in another city. You have no concern for schedule or budget at the moment, only defining the work that needs to be done for the wedding to start on time and to be successful. There will be up to 100 guests.
As there are different ways to organize a WBS, you should choose one of the patterns below. This WBS can be organized by functions or by physical locations, choose just one. Of course, there are other patterns that could be used but these look like logical choices for this project.
WBS Organized by Location WBS Organized by Function
Outline Level WBS Element
Outline Level WBS Element
0 The wedding project 0 The wedding project
1 Airport arrangements 1 Event programming
1 Guest hotels 1 Guest arrangements
1 Church arrangements 1 Catering
1 Reception arrangements 1 Musical entertainment
1 Wedding outfits 1 Floral displays
1 Going away outfits 1 Wedding outfitting
1 Honeymoon arrangements 1 Transportation
Things to remember:
• First, change the MS-Project default configuration settings, see the Project Configuration Settings section in “Project Tutorials” (Course Resources → Microsoft Project).
• Don’t go overboard on details, i.e., do not go deeper than Outline Level 3.
• Even though this is a small project, make sure you have enough details, i.e., enough sub-tasks to show how you will complete the Summary Task deliverable.
• Do indent sub-tasks, see the Adding Tasks to the Schedule section in “Project Tutorials” (Course Resources → Microsoft Project).
• Show the WBS column, see Show the Project WBS Numbers section in “Project Tutorials” (Course Resources → Microsoft Project).
Work Breakdown Structure for a Wedding (Individual project)

• Follow task naming conventions, see the Week 1 Readings, “How to Build Work Breakdown Structures”, and “What NOT to do in a WBS”.
o A sub-task should be named using verb, adjective and noun – there is action performed.
o A Summary task should be named using noun / adjective structure (NO VERBS) – it describes what will be delivered instead of what work will be done.
• No blank rows, i.e.,
• Summary tasks and sub-tasks should address only one (not multiple) deliverable (or action).
• Never use full sentences in the Task Name column of the schedule.
IMPORTANT: Submit this file named as “[LastnameFirstname] [Deliverable] Week 1” EXAMPLE: RowleyGarrett WBS Week 1
IMPORTANT – Use Your Name, but no Special Characters in the File Name
