Study Notes
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
- The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a tool used in project planning to decompose the project into smaller, manageable tasks and activities.
- The purpose of the WBS is to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of the project scope and to identify the tasks required to deliver the project objectives.
Representing the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
- The WBS is typically represented using a hierarchical or tree-like structure, with the project broken down into smaller tasks and sub-tasks.
Advantage of Tree Version of WBS
- The tree version of the WBS provides a clear and visual representation of the project scope, making it easier to identify tasks and their relationships.
Linear Responsibility Chart
- The Linear Responsibility Chart (LRC) is a tool used in project planning to depict the roles and responsibilities of team members and stakeholders.
- The LRC aims to clarify the responsibilities and accountabilities of each individual involved in the project.
Full Project Plan
- A full Project Plan includes the following aspects: • Project scope statement • Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) • Project schedule • Resource allocation plan • Budget plan • Risk management plan • Quality management plan • Communication plan • Stakeholder management plan
