Question

I need an example of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to creating a website for new bakery

Answer 1

Company owners and project managers use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to make complex projects more manageable. The WBS is designed to help break down a project into manageable chunks that can be effectively estimated and supervised. This article will give a few work breakdown structure examples and will give you an overview of how WBS can help in project planning.

Some widely used reasons for creating a WBS include:

• Assists with accurate project organization

• Helps with assigning responsibilities

• Shows the control points and project milestones

• Allows for more accurate estimation of cost, risk and time

• Helps explain the project scope to stakeholders

A WBS diagram expresses the simple graphic terms. The diagram starts with a single box or other graphic at the top to represent the entire project. The project is then divided into main, or disparate components, with related activities (or elements) listed under them. Generally, the upper components are the deliverables and the lower level elements are the activities that create the deliverables. Information technology projects translate well into WBS diagrams, whether the project is hardware or software based. That is, the project could involve designing and building desktop computers or creating an animated computer game. Both of these examples have tasks that can be completed independently of other project tasks. When tasks in a project don’t need to be completed in a linear fashion, separating the project into individual hierarchical components that can be allotted to different people usually gets the job done quicker.
