Lessons learned Final Report
1. Word document ---- project description.
Include (some or all of the following can be included as applicable)
• Overview - General project background.
• What the project is (summary)? High level view of the end deliverable(s)
• Who will use it and how it will impact users?
• What problem is it solving (Objectives)? What has caused the need for the project
Scope of Work (outline format or text). What is and what is not to be included as
part of the project.
• Deliverables. Final and intermediate deliverables. Is the project multi phased?
• What the project is (details), More detailed breakdown of the project rough time
estimate (3 months) and brief explanation for estimate
• High level description of project management process being used on the project.
Formal methodology if applicable. How are project change and risk to be
managed? What are the reporting and documentation requirements of the projects?
How will communications be managed on the project.
2. Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for your project.

You only need to do this down to level two or three. Going to level 2 mean start with
level 0 (a single node the name of your project), level 1, the highest-level breakdown
(4-8 nodes) and one level below that. You can go deeper at your discretion. Remember
all nodes do not need to go to the same level
• Use both a textual description and draw a hierarchy diagram
• You can use either a process, product, or hybrid approach
• This will become the basis for the project schedule you will develop using
project management software. Although level one may be generic e.g., phases
in a lifecycle of your choosing lower levels should be specific to the project of
your choosing
3. Prepare a short (10-15 slides) PowerPoint preparation for your

project.
You will be asked to do a brief presentation on your project when the course finishes
in January.
4. Develop a schedule for your project using Microsoft project.

Include estimates and dependencies. Include notes for each task explaining logic for
dependencies if applicable
5. Identify the resources

That will be used in the project and add them to the project in Microsoft project
6. Allocate resources to tasks as appropriate

7. Save the project schedule you have developed as a baseline
8. Pick a status date and simulate a situation for that date by entering
data for tasks, showing if they are complete, not started or ongoing (% complete)
