Project Overview Report | 1. Using MS Project, create a first-level work breakdown, also known as your to-do list, including your major deliverable milestones and/or your preliminary tasks. They can be summarized in approximately 10 rows or lines. You may also want to indent some of your preliminary tasks, like in the following example. To indent, select the task and then Task>Indent Task. Once you indent, you will see that the preceding task will turn to bold, which is also called a summary task. (This is not a complete WBS; therefore, you do not drill down into the smallest activities with 40+ rows or lines, which will be addressed in Part 2.) 2. Build the reports by navigating to Report>Dashboards>Project Overview. 3. Submit the Project Overview Report either in a MS Project file or as a screenshot. |
Stakeholder Communication | 1. Draft an email message as a Word document addressed to the project team. Your message should provide a high-level overview of key elements of your selected project topic: objectives, cost, duration, success measurements, and so forth. (This is about briefing your Project Proposal and MS Project work into one page.) 2. Submit an email message in a Word document. |
