Project Scope Management – WBS

 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)


• A deliverable oriented, hierarchical grouping of project
tasks with increasing detail in each descending level
• It is used to define the project in levels of detail to allow
the project team to determine the project's complexity and
to assist in the process of estimating resource
requirements, duration of tasks, and project risk
• It is NOT a list of tasks but, rather, a grouping of tasks
usually by major component (“work package”),
deliverable, or phase

Stakeholders – Question ?

1. How do you work with negative stakeholders?


a. Keep your friends close and your “stakeholders” closer
b. Identify what this stakeholder's goals really are; see
if there are any of this person’s goals that you can
satisfy without negatively impacting your project
c. Open up a dialog; keep the communication
channels open
d. Always be honest and play straight; even if a win/win
situation is not possible, you give the stakeholder an
incentive to play straight in return
