PLAN:
Specifying The Project
1. IDENTIFY PROJECT ACTIVITIES
• Divide the project into its major objectives such that the project is fully defined by the objectives.
• Partition each objective into the activities that must be done in order to accomplish the objective.
• For each activity having one or more missing characteristics divide that activity into the sub-activities
comprising it.
• Repeat step 3 until all sub-activities have the characteristics desired.
• The lowest-level sub-activities in the hierarchy will be the basis of the work packages that must be
done in order to complete the project.
The work breakdown structure is the basis for time estimation, resource allocation, and cost estimating and
collection. If the work breakdown structure is faulty, all further planning will also be faulty
