Achieving Project Goals Simulation The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) contains the different activities within a project. Every activity necessitates outputs from several experts following different measures and timelines. The total of these activities represent the end deliverable. In order to control the task effectively the project supervisor must track the logical order of the various parts. He must visualize the final project deliverable. Views regarding project management, benefits and restrictions, bottlenecks, changes to risk or time in a crisis, and four points touched.

The operation consists of the relocation of elephants from Zakinaka National Park to Ungoba National Park. The information is then delivered to the Executive Director of Ungoba National Park. The major task prior to starting the project is to identify the order of activities in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of the project. The sequence of activities is to: • Locate the herd of elephants, tranquillize them, and wet them down. • Attach GPS tracking collars, conduct a medical exam, and strap them. • Lift them, load elephants onto the recovery truck, and administer sedatives. • Back the
