...work breakdown structure A WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (WBS) IS A DECOMPOSITION OF ALL THE WORK NECESSARY TO COMPLETE A PROJECT. A WBS IS ARRANGED IN A HIERARCHY AND CONSTRUCTED TO ALLOW FOR CLEAR AND LOGICAL GROUPINGS, EITHER BY ACTIVITIES OR DELIVERABLES. THE WBS SHOULD REPRESENT THE WORK IDENTIFIED IN THE APPROVED PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT AND SERVES AS AN EARLY FOUNDATION FOR EFFECTIVE SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT AND COST ESTIMATING. PROJECT MANAGERS TYPICALLY WILL DEVELOP A WBS AS A PRECURSOR TO A DETAILED PROJECT SCHEDULE. THE WBS SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A WBS DICTIONARY, WHICH LISTS AND DEFINES WBS ELEMENTS. The goals of developing a WBS and WBS Dictionary are 1) for the project team to proactively and logically plan out the project to completion, 2) to collect the information about work that needs to be done for a project, and 3) to organize activities into manageable components that will achieve project objectives. The WBS and WBS Dictionary are not the schedule, but rather the building blocks to it. The progression of WBS and WBS Dictionary development is as follows: [pic] The WBS and WBS Dictionary should not be static documents. WBS construction is subject to project management progressive elaboration, and as new information becomes known, the WBS should be revised to reflect that information. A Project Team that has substantial changes to its WBS should reference the project’s Change Management Plan for guidance on management of changes to project scope. Example...

...I will provide the Scope Management Plan for VisionTec’s new Vision System project. This plan will document the scope management approach; roles and responsibilities as they pertain to project scope; scope definition; verification and control measures; scope change control; and the project’s work breakdown structure. This project will be to organize the product development process for your new product. This new technology uses a high resolution camera to inspect drug labels to insure they contain the proper information that is required by government standards.I will develop a Work Breakdown Structure for this new product. The will identify all the deliverables of the project programming, and testing a new camera which will be used to track the company’s finances and improve various financial processes. This includes design of the software, all programming and coding, and testing/validation of the software. No external resources or outsourcing are anticipated for this project. INTRODUCTION Scope Management is the collection of processes which ensure that the project includes all the work required to complete it while excluding all work which is not necessary to complete it. The Scope Management Plan details how the project scope will be defined, developed, and verified. It clearly defines who is responsible for managing the projects’ scope and acts as a guide for managing and controlling the scope. Project Scope Management follows a five step process; Collect Requirements...

...the state when the basic technologies for the design are known. The detailed estimate or definitive estimate is made when the scope of work is clearly defined and the detailed design is in progress so that the essential features of the facility are identifiable. Theengineer's estimate is based on the completed plans and specifications when they are ready for the owner to solicit bids from construction contractors. In preparing these estimates, the design professional will include expected amounts for contractors' overhead and profits. The costs associated with a facility may be decomposed into a hierarchy of levels that are appropriate for the purpose of cost estimation. The level of detail in decomposing the facility into tasks depends on the type of cost estimate to be prepared. For conceptual estimates, for example, the level of detail in defining tasks is quite coarse; for detailed estimates, the level of detail can be quite fine. As an example, consider the cost estimates for a proposed bridge across a river. A screening estimate is made for each of the potential alternatives, such as a tied arch bridge or a cantilever truss bridge. As the bridge type is selected, e.g. the technology is chosen to be a tied arch bridge instead of some new bridge form, a preliminary estimate is made on the basis of the layout of the selected bridge form on the basis of the preliminary or conceptual design. When the detailed design has progressed to a...

...service is unique and requires its own careful balance of practices, processes, tools and techniques, etc. to ensure the required work is completed as agreed upon by key project stakeholders. The sum of these along with the product and/or service to be delivered by the project is known as the project’s scope. Getting key parties to agree upon what is the scope of the project’s work is known as project scope planning. The practice of project scope planning is a key management practice for planning and delivering projects successfully. Project scope includes high level features or capabilities that the business team has committed to delivering to a customer as well as those they have not committed to delivering. Project scope is often defined by executive sponsor, steering committee, project sponsor, and the project’s customer with input from other appropriate stakeholders. Understanding and analyzing who project stakeholders are is an important early step in the scope planning process. Project stakeholders are persons and/or organizations such as customers, sponsors, the public, etc. that are actively involved in the project, whose interests may be affected by the project, or who exert influence over the project and/or its deliverables. Diligent scope planning works toward ensuring that key project stakeholders agree upon the project work to be accomplished. Achieving this agreement is facilitated through a process of...
