WBS
(Work Breakdown Structure)
A hierarchy that breaks a project’s work into smaller, manageable pieces
What's it for?
Breaks a large piece of work into smaller parts so it is easier to estimate, assign and track.
For example…
A WBS for "Launch new intranet" breaks the work into content migration, navigation design, access groups, UAT and communications.
For a company moving customer records to a new system, the work breakdown structure splits the job into smaller pieces such as preparing the data, checking it and moving it across
Think of it like…
Writing a shopping list by aisle: the big shop becomes smaller baskets you can actually carry
