Project Management: Event Planning and Execution Project

This project management assignment focuses on event planning, utilizing a work breakdown structure (WBS) to organize tasks, durations, and dependencies. The assignment outlines the planning, execution, and post-event review phases of an event, including creating an event team, negotiating with participants, planning activities, obtaining approvals, marketing, and managing resources. A detailed WBS is provided, breaking down the project into manageable tasks with specified durations, start and finish dates, and predecessors. The assignment also includes a network chart and a bibliography, demonstrating the application of project management principles and providing supporting references. This resource, available on Desklib, offers students a comprehensive example of project planning and execution, particularly in the context of event management.
