Exercise 1, page 188 (Chapter 6) Wedding Project Network.

Use the information provided to create a project network for the wedding project. There are video tutorials in your Module Supplements section of the course where you can see how to use MS Project to create the project network. Look in the course menu for module supplements content area.  If you do not have MS Project you can draw the network with flow diagramming software, mindmapping software (there are free mindmapping tools online) or with MS Word Or PPT drawing tools.  If you use an alternate tool to MS Project, make sure you know how a network should look so you can choose a tool that will do the job. Your PowerPoint slideshow should use the design techniques from the Best Design Practices in Design and Delivery and your Zoom presentation should utilize the 10 Tips in Effective Live OnlinePresentations contained in the PowerPoint Section of the Zoom resource area (course menu).  Use the Recording Zoom Presentations handout to help you prepare setup and record your Zoom presentation. This handout is attached to this assignment.
