Task 2. Work Breakdown Structure
For the online carpet sale ordering project, assume you have chosen Extreme Programming as a methodology, and have divided the project into three iterations based on features to be developed:

2. The system also capture customer contact details and all payment information.
3. Customer receipts are generated. Monthly management reports are provided.

Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for iteration 1.

Although you may also create a WBS for other iterations, in this Task you should only submit the WBS for iteration 1. The WBS for other iterations will not be marked.

The WBS must be created as a table, either directly in your MS Word report, or using other software (e.g. Excel, Project) and then copied/imported into your report. If you use other software, then you do not need to submit the original file. The WBS must contain only the following columns:

- Task ID
- Task description
- Estimated duration/effort (in days)
- Predecessor Task ID(s)

What to include in your report for this task?
1. The Work Breakdown Structure (a table as in ‘Figure 1-10 Schedule for the first iteration' on prescribe text page 15).

Task 3. Project Gantt Chart

For the online carpet sale ordering project, create a Gantt chart for all iterations of the project. You must include allocation of personnel. Also provide an explanation of the Gantt chart, including any assumptions that were made in preparing it.

What to include in your report for this task?
1. A screenshot or copy-and-paste of the full Gantt chart. You MUST also submit the original MS Project file

Please note the maximum marks that may be awarded to you for each task that you perform in this assignment as in the table below. Please also cross-read more task details in the next section. For some tasks, marks are distinguished between “Content” and “Format”. That is: • Content refers to the information provided in the write-up, diagram, chart, or table. The content should be relevant for the specific task/scenario. For example, with a cost/benefit analysis the information or content is the numbers, calculations and required discussions. • Format refers to the layout and syntax used in the diagram or table. The format should follow that recommended in the Style Guide on Moodle (or if not covered in the Style Guide, then that used in lectures or the textbook). For example, with a cost/benefit analysis the spreadsheet must be laid out in a specific way, and be easy to read.
