Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is what clarifies and provides the necessary details for many project management activities, it can help put together a detailed illustration of the project scope, it can monitor the progress of the project, it can create accurate cost/schedule estimates, and it builds the project’s terms. In order to build a good WBS it is important to understand the relationship between summary tasks and work packages.
I seams that the hardest part of creating a WBS is just getting started. WBS might seem overwhelming because it includes so many details and steps of the project. It must be broken down well starting at the top since it is a top-down decomposition.
I learned that the secret of a successful project management is breaking the project into small, meaningful, manageable units of work. What I mean by manageable is the work units shouldn’t be so large to the extent that they would cause the project to extend dramatically.
Like they say, “Measure twice and cut once” so it is cheaper to design a product correctly than to fix it after it is built. The earlier you detect an error the cheaper it is to fix.
