| Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
|
|
The WBS is a tool for defining the hierarchical breakdown of responsibilities and work in a project. It is developed by identifying the highest level of work in the project. These major categories are broken down into smaller components. The subdivision continues until the lowest required level of detail is established. These end units of the WBS become the activities in a project. Once implemented, the WBS facilitates summary reporting at a variety of levels.
