SCOPE STATEMENT/WBS EXERCISE

Instructions: Continuing to use the Week 2 Business Case project, this exercise will require you to complete a scope statement similar to Exhibit 7.4 on page 219 of the Kloppenborg textbook. However, your Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria need to be more detailed and specific than those listed in the textbook exhibit (more detail is provided below).

Copy and paste the Business Case you completed on Week 2 into the section below.

Draft a one or two sentence scope description for this project.

Provide six (6) key deliverables that are required within the project. Then state what the Acceptance Criteria entails to consider these Key Deliverables completed. Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria need to follow SMART criteria. That means that these need to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. This exercise only needs to identify six (6) of the potential Deliverables needed in the project. It does not mean to identify six (6) deliverables to complete the whole project. These Deliverables will be utilized to create the WBS with Activity List. So again, be specific and utilize SMART criteria.

As an example, if your Project was to build a wooden fence around a field then one of your Key Deliverables would be: Install Fence Posts. The Acceptance Criteria could be: Five-foot fence posts have been installed every eight feet around the field. Posts are properly secured in concrete and plumb. (This could be more specific but this is sufficient for the exercise).

Instructions: Instructions: You will use the Week 2 Business Case project to complete the WBS Structure with Activity List exercise. Utilizing the identified six (6) Key Deliverables provided above, you will identify three (3) activities that need to be completed to create the overall Key Deliverable. (See Exhibit 8.3 on page 251 for an example of WBS with Activities List). The textbook does not need to be cited or referenced in this exercise.

This should be a checklist of items that need to be completed to ensure that the Deliverable is completed and the Acceptance Criteria is met. Do not try to identify three (3) Activities to complete the entire Deliverable just provide three (3) that would be part of a potential full list of Activities to be completed. The Activities need to follow the formula for drafting Activities as presented on pages 249-251 of the Kloppenborg textbook.

For this exercise you will identify three (3) activities that need to be completed to create the overall Key Deliverable. (See Exhibit 8.3 on page 251 for an example).
