Work Breakdown Structure

The Work Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical representation of all tasks and subtasks of a project. It helps define the project scope and break the work into manageable tasks.

Effort: large Difficulty: low Effectiveness: continuous

The creation of a work breakdown structure requires the cooperation and contribution of the entire project team. The work breakdown structure should be created at the beginning of a project to clarify the project scope and structure the necessary work.

💡 Tip from practice: Use a (mindmap) to create the work breakdown structure.
