Projects are the lifeblood of innovation and growth for many organizations. Whether it is constructing a new manufacturing plant, developing a new software product, or organizing a complex marketing campaign, projects require meticulous planning, strict budget control, and seamless execution.
The WBS tells you what needs to be done and how much money you have to do it. The Network tells you how it will be done, when it will be done, and who will do it.
Beginners create a WBS with 100 elements at the same level. This breaks reporting. Only cost-collecting WBS elements should be at the bottom level. Everything else is a structural node.
The WBS is the heart of the project structure. It is a hierarchical model of the project, breaking it down into manageable chunks.
