Work breakdown structure to define a project

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides a structural view into the project. It is an essential tool for planning and executing the project. Use the WBS to define the work for the project and to develop the project's schedule. You should use the additional fields in MS Project to provide more detailed information on each component of the WBS - then export the WBS dictionary directly from Project. This Work Breakdown Structure Template provides a good set of WBS examples. Whether you are new to project management and working on your PMP certification, or been doing project management for many years, you're sure to find our templates helpful in your projects.

Create a WBS for the project.
