The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) views the entire scope broken down into smaller work blocks in a hierarchical structure. The completion of the work blocks will result in the completion of the deliverable and achievement of the objectives. It is imperative that 100% of the needed work appear in the WBS diagram and that there is no overlap between different work blocks. The WBS is not a project plan: It specifies who does what, not when, or how. Template details: The benefits of using this template: Helps us to identify the work required for a project. It can be used in any project, and it can help you see where your time should be spent on the project. It ensures that everyone is working towards the same goal, so there is no confusion about what needs to be done. It helps you stay organized by giving you an overview of everything that needs to get done for your project. Format: MS Excel Features: The WBS Dictionary expands the WBS further by providing information about: Description of the task. The person is responsible for delivering that task. Resources required to complete the task. Acceptance criteria that will be used for sign-off. Constraints regarding time, cost, and others (e.g., quality)
