The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the foundation for project planning and control. It is the connecting point for work and cost estimates, schedule information, actual work effort/cost expenditures, and accountability. It must exist before the project manager can plan these related and vital aspects of the project, and they all must be planned before the project manager will be able to measure progress and variance from plan. In order to perform this vital function, the WBS is at its core a hierarchy of deliverables or tangible outcomes. This article describes a proven approach for creating and implementing a WBS.
