The WBS, or the Work Breakdown Structure, is essential as part of a project’s lifecycle and timeline

/in /by

1.  A work breakdown structure is an important tool for project managers. It allows the project manager to plan out the work required for a project as well as the minute details of the project (PMBOK, 2017). A WBS also acts as a map for other team members, which they can reference if there is ever any confusion as to the next steps of the project. A WBS includes all the necessary steps needed to complete the project. Each team member is assigned specific tasks which they are responsible for completing. The work breakdown structure allows them to identify which tasks need to be completed at each point throughout the course of the project.

2.   You explain how the project manager plans the required work in the work breakdown structure along with the minute details. How should the project manager follow up in assuring the tasks are carried out properly and should he create resolving methods ahead of time.

3.  The WBS, or the Work Breakdown Structure, is essential as part of a project’s lifecycle and timeline. An important part of project planning, the WBS begins with a hierarchy of tasks and levels that help to identify how the project will flow within a designed timeline set by the project manager”.(brighthub,2021).

One benefit of using WBS Project Management is that it provides the project team members a full understanding of where their work fits into the project management plan  and it gives them a look at the impact of their work on the whole  project. Considering that there will be several project team members, WBS will help the project team to see how each activity or deliverable helps  complete the product and project scope.

A second benefit is WBS helps build communication and cooperation between and among the project team and other stakeholders. WBS Project Management shows the hierarchy of the project work and deliverables of a project scope, completed work, remaining work and project team members working on same work package.  All of these can be  explained to project stakeholders. There will be several smaller tasks

in the work package, and these will be assigned to project team members, WBS Project Management will be helpful for the cooperation between project team members.(masterofproject,2021).

Without the Work Breakdown Structure, the Project Management Process would be without a foundation to work with. There are many other benefits than the two mentioned above. I chose the two because I believe they are important to achieve all other benefits because of the  understanding and communication between team members that they build.

.4.  The Scope of work seems to be what we are doing while the WBS is more of a how we are doing the project. After the WBS is done it feels like this is the time to start the work, but even with a good WBS could be all for not if your scope of work is poorly done. Can your WBS pull out information that you can revise your scope of work that would better fit your project?

/in /by

Bean sprouts are usually produced by all types of beans, but mainly from the two primary types that come from the soybeans and mung beans. However, the crunchy and tasty goodness of the bean sprouts is incredibly healthful because they are rich in plant protein and low in calories. The studies say that bean sprouts are best to improve bone health, aid in weight loss, treat brain disorders, also improve heart and liver health. However, these sprouts are also rich in folates, which is why they are best for women’s health. They even prevent birth defects in children. The bean sprouts contain a significant level of vitamin B and vitamin C, iron, protein, and many other essential nutrients that boost your health. They even help to reduce anxiety, stress, build immunity, aid in skincare, improve digestion, and so. What do you know about bean sprouts?

What are two or three key ways that Indian sexual behavior challenged Europeans ideas?

/in /by

You can choose to participate in this discussion OR the discussion in the previous module. The due date for this week’s discussion is October 14th at 11:59 pm.

Deadlines, as usual: 

Post your initial post by Thursday at 11:59 pm. Post your two replies by Sunday at 11:59 pm.

  1. What did you find particularly exciting, interesting, or challenging about the assigned content this week? 
  2. Albert Hurtado writes that’s the sexual behavior of Native Americans challenged conventional European ideas about gender. What are two or three key ways that Indian sexual behavior challenged Europeans ideas? 
    • For this one, make sure to say who the “Berdache”/Two Spirit people were. (Note that “Two Spirit” is the appropriate terminology to refer to gender/sexually variant Native Americans (think “LGBTQ/queer”). “Berdache” is old fashioned but since the reading uses it I include it here in quotes so that you know what I’m referring to).

Your initial discussion post should be at least 250 words, you should answer all questions
