About this app

1. OBJECTIVE
The practice consists of building an EAP. This preparation is part of the first area of ​​project planning, that is, defining the scope. After developing the product scope, that is, defining the technical specification that describes the set of functionalities and the desired performance for the product, this scope will be decomposed into smaller parts until the level at which it will be possible to define the work packages. This decomposition is represented graphically and is called EAP.


At the end of this experiment, you should be able to:

analyze the scope of the product and break it down into smaller, easier-to-manage parts;

elaborate this decomposition in a graphical and hierarchical way through the construction of the WBS to the level at which it is possible to define the activities and their respective durations and costs.

2. WHERE TO USE THESE CONCEPTS?
The work breakdown structure is, after the project charter and product scope, the most important document in project management, since all subsequent planning documents will be derived from the work breakdown structure. Through the EAP, it will be possible to prepare the schedule, calculate the budget and estimate resources accurately, helping to ensure that the project is completed within the planning deadline and cost.

Through this practice, you, today's students and future project managers or members of project teams, will be able to simulate project planning within companies.


3. THE EXPERIMENT
In this experiment, you will play the role of a project manager. The only material needed for this practice is a computer or laptop with Internet access. The project will be a car. The first level of the EAP will be a box, in which the student will enter the name of the project. The student will decompose this box into other boxes on the second level, until all project deliverables are defined. Then, these second-level boxes must be decomposed into other boxes below, up to the level necessary for the work packages to be defined.

Think about all the deliveries your product will need for the final result to be as expected. Think that a car is made up of several parts. Example: mechanical part, electrical devices, bodywork, multimedia panel, wheels, etc. Remember: the more detailed your EAP is, the greater your product’s chances of success.


4. SECURITY
It is not necessary to use any specific safety equipment, as only one computer is used to carry out this experiment.


5. SCENARIO
The environment of this experiment is summarized on a screen, on which the EAP will be mounted. The only material needed for this practice is a computer or laptop with Internet access. At the end of the practice, the student should be able to save their EAP.
