- #13 DN 10 minutes The WBS allows to divide your project into work packages and dependencies and show their relationship and workflow in visual form. The WBS is one way of organizing all of the tasks in the project. The method used is to break the project objective into sub-objectives. In this case, the rainbow cake. For each sub-objective, I list the tasks necessary to achieve the sub-objective. In this case, the Make Cake sub -objective consists of 1) Look in cake recipe book, 2) Measure/mix cake ingredients, 3) Cool cake, and 4) Bake cake. Note that the tasks do not have to be listed in the correct time sequence. The important thing at this stage is to make a complete list of all the tasks necessary to successfully achieve the sub-objective.

- #18 DN After starting the cake project, we can either first look in the frosting recipe book, look in the cake recipe book, or drive to the store to buy the decorations. From our Task Assignment Matrix, we can see that we can do all of these tasks simultaneously, because we have assigned different resources to each of these tasks. Even if we have fewer resources, however, we have established that there are at least three paths of tasks available in our project. After we look in the frosting recipe book, we can measure/mix the frosting ingredients. We are then ready to slather the frosting on the cake. However, we have to wait for the cake to be baked and cooled before we do this task.
