Please save the submission in a single Acrobat file and save in the appropriate

Assignment
The assignment is to write a scope statement and a brief execution strategy for a
project. Using these as input, build an appropriate WBS for the project. The deliverables
include a graphic of the WBS using a hierarchical structure and a written discussion of

The project is to design, build, and deliver a graduate course: Introduction to Project
