following items:
1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
2. Estimation of task duration and effort
3. Gantt chart
4. Initial project schedule agreement
5. Communication to stakeholders
These items must address the criteria listed in the table below.
Note:
 *This assessment builds on the work you have submitted as part of the previous unit BSBPMG409.
Refer back to your items submitted for this unit and use this information in conjunction with the
direction of the next part of the Plan2go scenario for this event
 Download the templates to prepare scheduling information and documents
You must meet the marking criteria below in order to successfully complete this assessment
event.
1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Use this Work Breakdown Structure tool to develop
a WBS from the information provided in the
scenario. The WBS must cover enough detail to
enable effective planning and control and must:
1. Include an overview of your project.
2. List each major phase of the project.
3. Identify subtasks within each phase.
4. Identify predecessor relationships
5. Provide task numbers in logical sequence
6. Identify milestones/deliverables for tasks
2. Estimation of task duration and effort Use the resource matrix to identify your project
resource requirements for your WBS. Include:
1. Task number
2. Task name
3. Task duration
4. Identify the resource required
3. Gantt chart Use this Plan2go Gantt project planner template to
develop a project schedule. The schedule must
contain the minimum information below:
1. Project name

2. Task numbers
3. Task names
4. Task duration
5. Sequence of tasks which they must be
done
6. A graphic representation of the project’s
activities (Gantt Chart).(Note – You may

project management specific Gantt chart
software such as Microsoft Project or other
online Gantt chart software.)
4. Initial project schedule agreement Combine the WBS and Gantt chart to create and
obtain agreement to the Initial Project Schedule. To
gain agreement you need to:
1. Provide enough information for the
agreement to be obtained.
2. Identify the project authority.
3. Make any changes if required.
5. Communication to stakeholders Use this email template to create a draft email for
stakeholders that includes:
