You are analyzing this case in groups. Groups are automatically generated by Canvas.  \nKeep in mind, this case is continued from Unit 2 through 6. Hence understand premise of case correctly, start with right assumptions, and incorporate feedback as you receive during each week. Don’t forget to save your work and share it with your teammates on group discussion board. You may need it during upcoming assignments. Please be sure to use the discussion boards as I monitor and observe team collaboration. This is part of your team feedback grade at the end of the course.  \n.  \nAssignment Procedure:  \nComplete following 5 questions based on this case as per steps outlined in the next paragraph.  \n1. Make a list of assumptions that will be used as the basis for planning the wedding. Be specific and thoroughly explain each assumption. And no, it is not acceptable to assume that Tony and Peggy Sue will just elope, no matter how tempting that may be!  \n2. Develop a work breakdown structure (refer to your text for the proper format) . Hint: Use table number scheme as well as a Hierarchy chart.  \n3. Make a list of the specific activities that need to be done between now and the wedding day. Hint: Be specific and thorough (a list of 10 activities will not be sufficient)  \n4. For each activity, identify the person (Tony, Peggy Sue, and so forth) who will be responsible for seeing that the activity is accomplished.  \n5. Create a network diagram that shows the sequence and dependent relationships ofall the activities.  \nTo complete it, follow steps below critically.  \nStep 1: Each student will complete first two questions individually and share it on Module 2 Group Discussion Board. Your first post must include answers to these questions. Until you share initial post, you won’t be able to see others' post. Initial post is due by Day 3.  \nStep 2: Analyze submission of your teammates. In case there are differences, discuss and come to an agreement.  \nStep 3: Discuss and complete remaining three questions as a group. Read submission instructions and submit your assignment draft according. Assignment is due on Day 7.  \nSubmission Instructions:  \nSubmit answers to above questions in one word document. Put appropriate question numbers so that it is  \nclear which question is being answered. Use suitable font with 1 inch margin on all sides. There is no page limit as most of questions are methodological involving charts, tables and graphs. If you use output from MS Project or Excel, copy & paste it into word document.  \nIn addition to word document, you may submit MS project files for additional feedback however this is not substitution to a word document. Your word document should contain answers ofall questions completely.  \nAssignment Overview:  \nRead case ‘The Wedding’ given at the end of Chapter 4 on page 137-138.

Develop an estimated duration for each activity referenced from Module 2.  \n2. Using a project start time of 0 (or January 1) and a required project completion time of 180 days (or June 30), calculate the ES, EF, LS, and LF times and TS for each activity.
