Deliverables
The deliverable in this project is to successfully execute a birthday party for Jackson. In order for this to occur, Jackson
and his parents need to be consulted to determine their vision of this birthday party. During this meeting a guest list will
be created along with discussing Jackson’s interests to determine a theme. Invitations will need to be designed and
printed, a venue and caterer needs to be secured, decorations need to be bought, and a DJ and other entertainment needs
to be booked. All of these items are deliverables associated with this project with the ultimate goal of producing a fun
birthday party for Jackson.
Milestones
There are several task dependencies that this project has. A task dependency is how a task in a project relies on other
tasks to be able to be completed. One of the major task dependencies is that in order to design and print invitations, a
venue must be secured so that it can go on the invitation. It is also important that a guest list is created before invitations
are created before printing invitations so that there is a rough estimate of how many invitations to print. The tasks of
securing a caterer, DJ, and entertainment are all dependent on securing a venue, because with no venue there is no point
in having all of those. The last task dependency is that the task of putting decorations depends on the planning and
purchasing of decorations. It is impossible to put decorations without knowing what the decorations are and
without purchasing them.
