For over 50 years the term “work breakdown structure” has been used by many project managers to document and define scope of project. Today this term is widely used in many organizations which need to plan and manage projects. WBS software helps plan tasks, jobs, schedules, budgets and costs. Some people think that a WBS is just a scheduled list of tasks and jobs required for accomplishing a project. But in fact, a WBS is the foundation for creating and scheduling lists of tasks and jobs. A WBS project is also used to build project schedules, Gantt charts and timelines. It is a result-oriented, hierarchical tree that organizes all project activities. Project managers use special software to organize major elements and tasks of projects into an indented list which is used later for designing Gantt charts, network diagrams and schedules. When you want to plan a new project, you need to know that worksheet of your project can show you the following items at a glance: Elements (steps) of your project Distribution of project work between project elements Allocation and distribution of budget and cost between project elements Subdivision of your project elements A complete job work outline for your project
