Introduction

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a view into the project showing the work packages. It is a tool

which helps to easily communicate the work and processes involved to execute the project. The Project

Manager and project team use the WBS to develop the project schedule, resource requirements and

costs. There are many ways a WBS can be presented. This can be customized based on the project need.

The Work Breakdown Structure presented here represents all the work required to complete this

project.

A feneral rule for developing WBS is the 8 to 80 rule (where the WBS is broken down to where a work

package contains between 8 and 80 hours of work to complete).

The WBS for this project will be more aligned with the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) rather than

focusing on the project management process groups. This WBS will help the team to understand the

overall picture of what is going to happen next, without having to be familiar with the project

management processes.
