Week 7 Activity – Create a Work Breakdown Structure

This activity is designed to help you prepare for the assignment due next week, Analysis of Direct and Indirect Costs.

You will use the provided template to create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) sheet using the project information from the Week 8 assignment. It includes a place for both direct and indirect costs for the following items:
