Scenario:
You are the VP of IT of an electronics hardware company.

- You have been asked by the CEO to get a corporate website for your company.
- The key STAKEHOLDER of this web asset will be the Marketing Department. Additionally, the CEO will have a blog, HR will post jobs etc.
- After carefully considering your projects on hand AND your team's core skills, you decide to OUTSOURCE this project to a suitable vendor

Some guidelines you have established:
- Plan your requirements as meticulously as possible upfront
- Select the best vendor based on capability, process maturity and suitable pricing
- Ensure a high quality outcome - by incorporating Quality checks through out the project
- Ensure non-functional requirements are considered

The WBS / Task list - notes

• This is available in a separate Excel file "WBS for Exercise 4 - Corporate Website Development.xls".
• The best practice is that you should create this WBS in multiple iterations and involve the people who will do the actual work - or who have the expertise in the area.
• I have applied more iterations to the task list - to sort both by a chronological order - and ALSO "work by department"
• Finally, I have also included task duration - to demonstrate Microsoft Project's intelligence in copying this over to the project file.
