Answer 1

A work-breakdown structure (WBS) in project management and systems engineering, is a deliverable-oriented breakdown of a project into smaller components. A work breakdown structure is a key project deliverable that organizes the team's work into manageable sections.

If we take the wall painting Example: Then there are are different task which involves in reaching the goal like

1. Wall Cleaning: To smooth the walls with the help of Wall-paper.

2. Patch Wall: To oremove all the holes and other breaks from the wall with the help of patch.

3. Tape Wall: Then wall needs to be taped as per the dimention and color selection at the corners
