After selecting the appropriate project, the team should do the following: –
1. Write a briefing statement about the project: which is the current project with the surrounding circumstances.
2. Develop a full WBS for the project
3. Develop a budget and show the budget using the appropriate way you prefer (a button-up approach has to be used)
4. Schedule the project using networking
5. Crash or expedite the project
6. Allocate resources
7. Discussion and Recommendation- after looking at your project, discuss your findings and conclude
Note: in your attempt to build the WBS, or even the budget elements, provide a brief discussion of how you came up with your numbers, and show some demonstrations of your work by discussing some elements for which the WBS, or the budget have been developed
