Assignment 3: Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Part 1: Performance requirements summary: Develop a performance requirements summary for the following items, following the examples provided in Module 4. Your performance work summaries should contain: 1) a high level requirement (outcome), 2) performance objective, and 3) performance standard and AQL.

Item A: You are given responsibility to convert three former office rooms into training mclassrooms. Each will be a plain vanilla classroom designed to accommodate 25 students. It will not be used for computer training.

Item B: You are organizing a reception for senior executives. The CEO's executive secretary has indicated that the CEO would like the reception to be a dinner on a river cruise boat. It should accommodate twenty-five senior executives and their partners. It will be held on a weekday night. At the dinner, awards will be offered to top performing executives for exemplary performance in the previous twelve months.

Item C: You work in your organization's marketing department. You want an engineer from your new product development group to write up a short one-page description of the features of a new state-of-the art desktop digital clock that offers verbal messages reminding you of appointments.

Part 2: Performance work statement (PWS). You will add a deck onto the back of your house. Your adult brother and sister, who live in your neighborhood, have volunteered to work with you on building the deck on weekends. The deck is on the ground floor of your house. It is accessible through a sliding glass door in your downstairs family room. It leads into your backyard garden. You obtain the deck drawings and instructions for building a deck from You Can Build a Deck, which you picked up at your local Home Depot.

Create a performance work statement to capture key elements of the project effort described immediately above. Use the Wright Brothers PWS example found in Module 4A as a guide to the approach you should take. Your PWS should be no longer than three pages.
