Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is one of the most valuable and commonly
used tools available to the project team. Select one task your department or
group is responsible for in your current or a previous job . Alternatively you
may select a company you are familiar with or desire to research. Using the
process of decomposition list two subtasks. Further decompose one subtask into
two work packages. As a final step provide two levels of effort for one of the
work packages.
Present your WBS in a simple indented format. Discuss how you might use a WBS
in other aspects of your job responsibilities, at home, or elsewhere.
