Work Breakdown Structure for a Wedding
(Individual project)

WBS for a Wedding Spring 2024 Page 1 of 2

Overview

The purpose of this Individual assignment is to develop a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). NOTE: You
will need Microsoft Project for this assignment. Since this will be an introduction to Microsoft Project,
the scope of the WBS is relatively small.

Assignment for the Wedding WBS

The scenario is this – Your best friend asked you to help plan a wedding in another city. You have no
concern for schedule or budget at the moment, only defining the work that needs to be done for the
wedding to start on time and to be successful. There will be up to 100 guests.

As there are different ways to organize a WBS, you should choose one of the patterns below. This WBS
can be organized by functions or by physical locations, choose just one. Of course, there are other
patterns that could be used but these look like logical choices for this project.

WBS Organized by Location WBS Organized by Function

Outline
Level WBS Element

Outline
Level WBS Element

0 The wedding project 0 The wedding project

1 Airport arrangements 1 Event programming

1 Guest hotels 1 Guest arrangements

1 Church arrangements 1 Catering

1 Reception arrangements 1 Musical entertainment

1 Wedding outfits 1 Floral displays

1 Going away outfits 1 Wedding outfitting

1 Honeymoon arrangements 1 Transportation

Things to remember:

• First, change the MS-Project default configuration settings, see the Project Configuration
Settings section in “Project Tutorials” (Course Resources → Microsoft Project).

• Don’t go overboard on details, i.e., do not go deeper than Outline Level 3.

• Even though this is a small project, make sure you have enough details, i.e., enough sub-tasks to
show how you will complete the Summary Task deliverable.

• Do indent sub-tasks, see the Adding Tasks to the Schedule section in “Project Tutorials” (Course
Resources → Microsoft Project).

• Show the WBS column, see Show the Project WBS Numbers section in “Project Tutorials”
(Course Resources → Microsoft Project).

Work Breakdown Structure for a Wedding
(Individual project)

WBS for a Wedding Spring 2024 Page 2 of 2

• Follow task naming conventions, see the Week 1 Readings, “How to Build Work Breakdown
Structures”, and “What NOT to do in a WBS”.

o A sub-task should be named using verb, adjective and noun – there is action performed.

o A Summary task should be named using noun / adjective structure (NO VERBS) – it
describes what will be delivered instead of what work will be done.

• No blank rows, i.e.,

• Summary tasks and sub-tasks should address only one (not multiple) deliverable (or action).

• Never use full sentences in the Task Name column of the schedule.

IMPORTANT: Submit this file named as “[LastnameFirstname] [Deliverable] Week 1”
EXAMPLE: RowleyGarrett WBS Week 1

IMPORTANT – Use Your Name, but no Special Characters in the File Name
