▪ Dividing complex projects to simpler and manageable
tasks is the process identified as Work Breakdown
Structure (WBS).

▪ Usually, the project managers use this method for


simplifying the project execution. In WBS, much larger
tasks are broken-down to manageable chunks of work.
These chunks can be easily supervised and estimated.
▪ Work Package: A group of related tasks that are defined at
the same level within a work breakdown structure.

▪ In project management and systems engineering, WBS is a
deliverable oriented decomposition of a project into
smaller components.

▪ A work breakdown structure element may be a product,


data, a service, or any combination. A WBS also provides
the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and
control along with providing guidance for schedule
development and control

▪ Once the project Scope is agreed (finalized) then before
starting the project we need to plan various components
(activities) of software development project.

▪ Accurate and readable project organization.
▪ Accurate assignment of responsibilities to the project
team.
▪ Indicates the project milestones and control points.
▪ Helps to estimate the cost, time, and risk.
▪ Illustrate the project scope, so the stakeholders can have a
better understanding of the same.

▪ Begin with the Charter, focusing on Objectives and
Deliverables
▪ Break the main product(s) down into sub-products

▪ Set the structure to match how you’ll manage the project

▪ Lowest level not too detailed, not too large

▪ Is there a need for Integration?

▪ Identify support activities

▪ Check for completeness - is all the effort included?

▪ Develop a coding structure if needed

▪ Assign work package managers

There are common pitfalls to creating a WBS.
If you can keep these few possible, you and
your team will be much more successful at
creating a useful and accurate Work
Breakdown Structure.
▪ Level of Work Package Detail
▪ Deliverables Not Activities or Tasks
▪ WBS is not a Plan or Schedule
▪ WBS Updates Require Change Control
▪ WBS is not an Organizational Hierarchy
