Today I started the project proposal. My project plan had me starting the template for this on the 26th, but given it was so minimal I’m not too worried, particularly because I’ve realised in my project plan that I’d put the WBS & Gantt development after development of the document. Either way I’m on track to finalising everything I need for the assessment.

In putting together the WBS, I neglected to see a few overlaps. Luckily, and now understandably, we needed to put together a Gantt chart. Doing this second part of the of the task for the project proposal highlighted areas around timing that I had overlooked. I’ve now reworked the WBS and have the Gantt chart all good to go so that I can move onto development of the actual proposal document.

I’ve spent the last few days completing a work breakdown structure using MS Project. I realised when opening the application, that I haven’t used it for some time, luckily not much has changed.

I haven’t undertaken any formal training as a project manager, so putting the WBS together has involved a fair amount of research, which like everything has so many mixed opinions. I feel the structure I’ve put together fits the need to deliver the final assessment for the subject.
