Problem
You work for a project management consultancy firm that provides advice to client organizations who are relatively immature in project management practices. Here are two recent examples:
a) Ramesh Kumar is the Project Manager with ABC Construction. Ramesh has been asked to manage a new construction project in which the high-level deliverables are clearly stated in the Project Charter. Ramesh has asked for your advice on the approach to follow in creating the WBS.
b) Jack Smith is the Project Manager with NextGen Technology Solutions. Jack has been asked to manage an innovation project where the high-level deliverables are not clearly identified in the Project Charter. Jack has asked for your advice on the approach to follow in creating the WBS.
To do:
a) What advice shall you give to Ramesh?
b) What advice shall you give to Jack?
c) Elaborate with reasons.
