Overview of the Work Breakdown Structure The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the tool for breaking down a project into its component parts. It identifies all the tasks in a project that are the foundation for all subsequent planning. The WBS starts with the list of requirements and specifications, which in turn suggest the end-item, deliverable, or system of the project and its major subsystems and components; they also specify which of the systems will be met externally (by suppliers/subcontractors) and which internally. The purpose of the WBS is to define the total project into “pieces of work” or small manageable tasks known as work packages. Decomposition makes it easier to prepare project schedules and cost estimates, and to assign management and task responsibilities. In a WBS the top layer is very general, and each subsequent layer is more and more specific. Every level in the WBS is the detailed explanation of the level above it. Building a WBS helps to: * Provide a detailed and comprehensive illustration...
