Love the video. Do you mind sharing what software you used to create the Chart? I am looking to make a chart similar to the style in your video

[@thooper1000]

Hi Donna, I used Smart Art inside PowerPoint (or Word) to make the WBS. Select the hierarchy option, then edit. Let me know if you're not sure how and I'll send a quick video. Email: [e-mail]

[@thooper1000]

[@AnietieOffiong-uf8md]

A very beautiful breakdown, precise but there is a place i could not hear the pronunciation well, in the " Inclusions" . Thank you.

[@thooper1000]

Hi Anietie, I'm glad you found it helpful. If you let me know the time in the video that was difficult to follow, I can try to clarify for you 😊

[@mramya1465]

If possible can you please explain WBS in real time scenario .

[@thooper1000]

Hi M Ramya, what do you mean, like a live Zoom call? or do you have a specific scenario you want to ask me about? Email me to discuss: [e-mail]

[@mramya1465]

How to store the WBS element creation into our local system folder, can you please explain

[@thooper1000]

You can store it as a file or image. For example, the one in the video was built in PowerPoint using SmartArt. You could snip it (Windows + Shift + S on keyboard), paste into MS Paint or PhotoShop and save it as a jpeg image. Otherwise I paste the WBS directly into the project plan or scope management plan (MS Word file) or build it in MS Word using SmartArt. Does that help with your question?

[@ajikeezichi4501]

By work item do you mean work package

[@thooper1000]

Hi Ajike, a work item or item of work could mean a deliverable, work package or an individual task/activity, depending on what I was discussing at the time of the video (most likely a work package or task/activity). Consider it as something that needs to be done on the project, so if the same thing (deliverable, work package or task/activity) appears twice on the WBS, it may get done twice, or if its completely missing, it won't get done at all. Does that help?

[@ajikeezichi4501]

Yes it's does. Thanks for the explanation. I'm preparing for CAPM at the moment and your video came helpful.
