Creating Measurable and Independent Tasks

@Ravi Nishant
PROJECT → TASK → WORK →
DAILY ACTIVITIES

In project management, the work breakdown structure (WBS) is a

hierarchical breakdown of a project’s deliverables or phases.

@Ravi Nishant
 WHAT IS A WORK
BREAKDOWN
STRUCTURE (WBS)?

Work breakdown structure (WBS) and factor

decomposition are practices to break down a new
project according to certain principles.

The project is decomposed into tasks, and then the tasks

are decomposed into work items, and then the work
items are allocated to everyone's daily activities until the
decomposition cannot go on.

@Ravi Nishant
 HIERARCHICAL
DECOMPOSITION

With a WBS, you begin with the desired outcome or product,

which you then break down or decompose into the smaller
deliverables or tasks needed to create it.

WHY USEWORK BREAKDOWN
STRUCTURES?

Provides a visual representation of all parts of a project

Offers an ongoing view for management and team
members into how the entire project is progressing
Defines specific and measurable outcomes
Breaks the work into manageable chunks
Provides a way to make successful experiences
repeatable
Sets a foundation for estimating costs and allocating
human and other resources
Ensures no overlap and no gaps in responsibility or
resources
Minimizes the chance of adding items outside the
scope of work or forgetting a critical deliverable

@Ravi Nishant
EXAMPLE: WARE HOUSE
CONSTRUCTION

@Ravi Nishant
Work packages are action oriented and will be represented by phrases
containing verbs (see Figure above). The cost of a deliverable is the sum
of all of its related sub-deliverables.

In Figure above, the cost of the Walls deliverable is the sum of the Stud
Walls and the Electrical sub-deliverables ($17,740 + $3,680 =
$21,420).

 THE WBS DICTIONARY

The WBS dictionary provides detailed documentation about each work

package including:
Who is responsible for completing the work package?
What resources will be needed to complete the work package?
What deliverable(s) is the work package contributing to?
What deadlines or milestones are associated with this work package?
What are the acceptance criteria for this work package?
