BUS 528 Week 6 Assignment A-2

Assignment A-2
Chapter 6 ideas- Work Breakdown Structure

The first time that I ever exposed to the word WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) was back during my college days in the early twenty hundreds.

We were taught about WBS in Engineering Management course and we use it in one of our project – 'Development of Multi-functional System in Poultry Farm – iFarm'.

This WBS helps us to breakdown each of the division or segment that we need to deliver and expect in a structure manner. We can also plan the approach/ timeline/ responsibility accordingly.

So, a brief summary of what is iFarm:

• an automated and multi-functional system that will cover the operation and maintenance of a poultry farm which will be controlled by a microcontroller.
• This project is aim to reduce workforce, increase productivity, low budget with advance technology equipment.

Above is the brochure of the iFarm project.

Right now, referring back to the project that I did with the team, I feel regret as we didn’t patent the name iFarm (almost similar to iPhone, iPad, iPod nowadays)…no point complaining...we missed the flight...hahahaha

Anyway, below is just to share part of my early days course work during my college days without much working experience. Special thanks to my old project team mates – Michael and Desmond.
