You have been tasked with the project of organizing a company offsite 2-day training session in which people are brought in from different parts of the country. This entails everything from preparation, accommodations, and facilities.

Create a Microsoft Project file for the project that includes the following:

· Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) that includes all project tasks (hierarchically grouped) and durations.  This means that a task list needs to be created in order to implement the training event that each of you wrote a memo about during week 1.  As you create this task list, please review the typical project management life cycle phases and use those phases in creating the summary tasks for the project.  A summary task in MS Project is basically a header for all of the tasks indented under it.  The task list created under this bullet must be comprehensive, meaning that I would be looking for a task list that includes tasks for creating the project plan, the WBS, having design reviews, etc..

· Establish task precedence relationships.  This means that there are task dependencies among tasks, for example task 2 cannot start until task 1 gets completed.  This can be easily done in MS Project by establishing predecessor or successor relationships.

· Show milestones and deliverables.  This means that in order for the project status to be determined certain milestones need to be established.  In MS Project a milestone gets created when the duration of the task is set to zero.  Also, and this is part of the task list, I expect to see a task that will basically produce the associated deliverable under its appropriate phase.  

NOTE: Only an MS Project file (.mpp type file) will be accepted for this submission,
