Use Microsoft® Project to develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for your project

defined in Week 2. Include a 100- to 150-word description of how and why you would use
a WBS in a project.
· Post your completed WBS and my project is on upgrading a bathroom I have no idea and it is due 5-29-09

I used WBS in my projects to

a) measure work completed to date
b) provide a scheduling for material, that is, tying material needs to a job and date
c) to get a reality check on which elements were important, urgent, and critical.

that did not answer my question I need to know how to do this

To develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) using Microsoft® Project for your bathroom upgrade project, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft® Project and create a new project.
2. Enter the project name, start date, and end date.
3. Click on the "View" tab and select the "Gantt Chart" view.
4. Click on the "Task" tab and select "Task Name" column.
5. Start breaking down your project into tasks that need to be completed for the bathroom upgrade. For example, you can start with tasks such as "Select Bathroom Design", "Purchase Materials", "Demolition", "Install Plumbing", "Install New Fixtures", and so on.
6. Use the "Indent" feature in the "Task Name" column to create sub-tasks if needed.

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the project into smaller, more manageable components called work packages. Each work package represents a deliverable or a set of related tasks.

Using a WBS helps in:

1. Project planning and organization: It allows you to break down the project into smaller tasks, making it easier to manage and assign responsibilities to team members.
2. Clear communication: It provides a common language and structure for project teams to understand the project scope and deliverables.
3. Estimating and budgeting: It helps in estimating the resources and costs required for each work package, allowing for more accurate budgeting.
4. Progress tracking: It enables you to track the progress of the project by monitoring the completion of each work package.
5. Risk management: It helps in identifying potential risks and dependencies, making it easier to mitigate them.

Unfortunately, as an AI text-based interface, I am unable to view or receive your completed WBS. However, following the steps mentioned above should help you create the WBS for your bathroom upgrade project in Microsoft® Project.
