Action 3 & 4

Action 3: Scope statement. Assume that your team has carried out the requirements collection strategy outlined in Action 1. Within your project team, simulate the outcome of requirements elicitation by discussing your project estimate spreadsheet, searching the Internet for other possible equipment or systems used by other airports, and arriving at reasonable options for fulfilling the requirements for the airport. After completing this team discussion, create a simple scope statement, no more than a single paragraph, that captures the essence of what your project will and will not do.

Action 4: Work breakdown structure. Consider the options arrived at in your team requirements brainstorming along with the simple scope statement. Proceed to create the WBS. Recall that the WBS is a structured outline of project deliverables. By definition– deliverables are nouns and contain no activities (verbs), durations, or resource assignments. Your WBS should contain at least three levels. It is recommended that you use a spreadsheet to create an indented outline for your WBS. In this way, you can then easily add WBS element descriptions to your WBS to form the WBS dictionary. Submit your scope baseline (Scope statement, WBS and WBS Dictionary) for grading and evaluation.
