OPENING CASE
Kim Nguyen was leading a meeting to create the work breakdown structure (WBS) for her
company’s IT upgrade project. This project was necessary because of several high- priority,
Internet-based applications the company was developing. The IT upgrade project involved
creating and implementing a plan to make all employees’ IT assets meet new corporate
standards within nine months. These standards specified the minimum requirements for each
desktop or laptop computer, including the type of processor, amount of memory, hard disk
size, type of network connection, and software. Kim knew that to perform the upgrades, the
project team would first have to create a detailed inventory of all the current hardware,
networks, and software in the entire company of 2,000 employees.
Kim had worked with other stakeholders to develop a project charter and initial scope
statement. The project charter included rough cost and schedule estimates for the project
and signatures of key stakeholders; the initial scope statement provided a start in defining the
hardware, software, and network requirements as well as other information related to the
project scope. Kim called a meeting with her project team and other stakeholders to further
define the scope of the project. She wanted to get everyone’s ideas on what the project
involved, who would do what, and how they could avoid scope creep. The company’s new
CEO, Walter Schmidt, was known for keeping a close eye on major projects. The company
had started using a new project management information system that let everyone know the
status of projects at a detailed and high level. Kim knew that a good WBS was the foundation
for scope, time, and cost performance, but she had never led a team in creating one or allocating
costs based on a WBS. Where should she begin?
