Appendix L

Telecom WBS Example

The WBS example below is displayed in a standard outline format. At level 2, this WBS
is organized according to the project lifecycle, from creation of the concept through
product development, customer acceptance and ongoing support and maintenance.
Within each level 2 WBS Element are included lower level deliverables that are specific
to that stage and include, among others, reviews and decisions, analyses, tangible
deliverables, and services. The Project Management WBS Element is not decomposed
to the same level of detail as the others. Both an outline and vertical tree-structure
view are provided for comparison.

Note: PMI Project Management Standards Open Working Session volunteers at
PMI’s ’99 Seminars & Symposium originally created this WBS example. It has been
subsequently been updated as part of the development of this release of the Prac-
tice Standard.

This WBS example is illustrative only and is intended to provide guidance to the reader. No claim of
completeness is made—for any specific project, the example may be complete or incomplete. All examples
reflect the quality principles expressed in this Practice Standard. As expressed in the PMBOK威 Guide—
Third Edition ‘‘the project management team is responsible for determining what is appropriate for any
given project’’ (Project Management Institute 2004).
