Question

Situation: Procter and Gamble (P&G) Ltd has won the government tender to develop and deliver a wearable health monitoring watch to the MedicAid program. As part of the acceptance criteria, the device must support specific functionality and features so that the information collected by the watch can be integrated into the medical record of the user. Some of the features are: measuring sugar, pressure, temperature, oxygen percentage and breathing rate. Additionally, the watch should include a wireless connectivity feature to transfer the information, and have a secure protocol. Questions: 1. You were hired by P&G Ltd as a project manager to lead such development and were asked by the top management to construct a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project. Use the following information to complete the WBS: - All features must be included as deliverables, (14 points) - Each deliverable must have at least 4 realistic and reasonable sub-deliverables (level-2), - Each sub-deliverables must include at least 4 realistic and reasonable sub-subdeliverables (level-3), - Each sub-sub-deliverables must include at least 4 realistic and reasonable workpackages. - The WBS must be presented in a hierarchy format. 2. Create the WBS dictionary. (12 points) The Windows key is disabled. 3. Using the WBS, construct the network information chart (NIC) with estimated Press the Fn + Windows keys to number of days to complete the project. You can also enable it through A System Configuration, and then icon.

2. WBS Dictionary:

Deliverable: A tangible, verifiable work product that must be completed for the project.

Sub-deliverable: A smaller, more manageable work product that contributes to the completion of a higher-level deliverable.

Sub-sub-deliverable: A further breakdown of a sub-deliverable, providing even more specific work tasks.

Workpackage: The smallest unit of work in the WBS, typically assigned to a single individual or team.

3. Network Information Chart (NIC):

Requires further information such as estimated time for each work package to construct the NIC.
