Work Breakdown Structure

Assalamualaikum...

Today, Pn. Badariah tought us part of chapter 3 about Planning and Managing the Project...
After about 3o minutes of lecture, we were required to sit in our own group to discuss and start doing the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for our project.

All of us were there, except Mumtaz... If i'm not mistaken, she was not feeling well...

Anyway, back to the group discussion...
The purpose of doing the WBS is to separate the project development into a succession of phases which are composed of steps, which are composed of activities...

WBS describes the software-development cycle for a particular project by enumerating te phases or stages of the project and breaking each into discrete tasks or activities to be done. Besides that, the WBS potrays the interactions among these activities and estimates the time that each task or activity will take. Therefore, we can say that the WBS is a timeline that shows when activities will begin and end, and when the related development products will be ready.

According to Pn. Badariah, we are required to show our WBS on our next class which is on Tuesday...

Anyway, we are still working on our schedule. We didn't manage to finish it during class...

That's all...
