WBS is subdivided into ACTIVITY-,FUNCTIONAL -and PHYSICAL breakdown which are not completely covered in your examples. Good if you want to have a clue on how a WBS could look like.
@marbenzx86285 жыл бұрын
Do not follow this WBS because it is incorrect. The WBS is broken down into project components which are nouns not verbs. The activities/tasks are verbs/actions that are entered into the project schedule.

is there a way to convert the WBS in to a single column of names?
@efstratiosanagnostopoulos66365 жыл бұрын
Yes, if you use MS-Project or other PM programs. The WBS level calculation is performed using increments (like in .doc files).

Activities are not part of a WBS. Those that don't understand this are misunderstanding a critical part of the philosophy. PMI says the WBS is "a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the team". Nouns, not verbs. What, not how. It defines and decomposes scope, it does not define how the work products will be completed.

@AlergicToSnow3 жыл бұрын
JDP & Associates the WBS defines the work products (nouns). The project schedule defines the activities (verbs) to produce those work products. I think the widespread confusion comes from the fact the “work” in work breakdown structure can be used as either a noun or a verb in the English language. This is unfortunate. It’s more accurate to think of it as a “work product breakdown structure” or work packages breakdown. No matter what you call it, it is there to define and contain the project scope. The WBS dictionary needs to contain a definition of “finished” for each identified work package. Really important- the WBS is a way to define scope. It is not intended to define how the work will be accomplished. If your delivery method is waterfall, the project schedule will later define, for each work package, the activities required to complete the work package and the sequence and timing in which the activities will be performed and then assign resources for the activities and estimate effort and duration. Although not really it’s intended use, I’ve found realistically that if you later decide to switch to agile to deliver one or more defined work packages, then the WBS can be used to start a product backlog for those work packages. Bonus. I communicate the project progress, etc to stakeholders and sponsor at the WBS level. Far too many PMs confuse the business and executives by using the project schedule, which creates more problems than it solves. Business people and, especially executives, generally don’t care about the ‘how’. They just want to know ‘what’, ‘when’ and ‘how much’.

What is the deference between task and activity ?
@Feenestron5 жыл бұрын
Using PMBoK approach - an activity is a low-level brick of WBS that leads to a result. Activity may be decomposed to smaller tasks. I think it's like: "to dig a hole" is an activity, "to stick a shovel, to throw ground away" - tasks.

I'm GREAT on the decomposition portion of the WBS...thank you. Where I'm losing traction is on the cost estimation of tasks. For example, if my total budget is $8.1M and I have 3 main project activities (A,B,C) composed of 22% of remaining contract dollars, 28%, and 34%. My problem is that there is 16% project manager admin costs in there as well. Does that go into the structure? Plus, there is a contingency of 4%...BUT it is included in the admin costs. No matter how I calculate it, when I check my work, I do not return to quite 100% of my budget! I'm wondering "which" costs beget the others? Do I subtract out all admin and contingency BEFORE I go on to estimating the major activities? Or, is it the other way around?
@efstratiosanagnostopoulos66365 жыл бұрын
You have to gather all contigency costs and remove them from all work packages or tasks. You need your reserves gathered together, so you can use them at the Momitoring & Control phase of the Project, to speed up activities that might put you behind schedule or to accomodate mistaken cost estimation that can throw you abobe budget. As a rule of thumb, gather all your contigency reserves so you can allocate them properly when and if needed.

@6:24 Huck's Work Breakdown Structure is wrong. Activities aren't WBS elements. Activities can be associated with a WBS; but a WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition, represented as adjective-nouns. A WBS doesn't contain tasks; this has been established since 1970 by the global Project Management Institute.
@garyoptica9 жыл бұрын
So you are inferring that the GPMI have declared that a Work Breakdown Structure contains no activities or tasks? I would hardly think that would make sense in the real world...
@AlergicToSnow5 жыл бұрын
garyoptica it absolutely makes sense in the real world. The WBS decomposes the scope into work packages- deliverables. It is developed long before the activities to accomplish those deliverables are defined.
