Work Breakdown Structure

The document discusses different approaches to breaking down the scope of a project, including the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Product Breakdown Structure (PBS), and Scope Breakdown Structure (SBS). The WBS decomposes the work of the project into components, while the PBS focuses on the products to be delivered and the SBS uses noun phrases and activities to break down the scope.

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

S
WB

Used as a basis for a number of processes in


particular to produce the subsidiary plans of the
Project Management Plan.
The WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchy of
decomposed project components that organises
and defines the total scope of the project. The WBS
is a representation of the detailed project scope
statement that specifies the work to be
accomplished by the project.
The elements comprising the WBS assist the
stakeholders in viewing the end product of the
project.
The work at the lowest-level WBS component is
estimated, scheduled, and tracked.

The Dictionary of the WBS

S
WB

A WBS dictionary is a companion document to the


WBS that describes each WBS element. For each WBS
element, the WBS dictionary includes a statement of
work, a list of associated activities, and a list of
milestones.
Other information can include the responsible
organisation, start and end dates, resources required,
an estimate of cost, charge number, contract
information, quality requirements, and technical
references.
WBS elements should be cross-referenced as
appropriate.

Developing the WBS

S
WB

Divide the total work of the project into


major groups...
...then subdivide these groups into
tasks...
...then divide these tasks into sub-tasks
Subtasks should be small enough to
permit adequate control and visibility
But avoid excess bureaucracy!

Scope Breakdown Structure


(Max Widemans approach)

S
SB

Geographically discrete components


Time based phases and stages
Intermediate or final major deliverables
Discrete structural, process, system or device
components
Deliverable elements that can be associated
with distinctive types of people-skills or
resources
After that, break down the work as in the WBS
