Study Notes
- The question describes a scenario where Duncan, a project manager, uses sticky notes to create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for a new project.
- Duncan gathers the project team and provides them with sticky notes.
- The team defines project objectives and major activities.
- Team members write all the tasks required to complete the project on sticky notes.
- The notes are then stuck on a wall in a sequential manner.
- The answer explains the method used to create the WBS, but it does not mention FMEA charts, Langley histograms, project baselines or Gozinto charts.
