Work Breakdown Strutures (WBSes)

@Diego Nolasco (Deactivated)

A Work Breakdown Structure is a higher level project artifact that supports the creation of schedules and budgets. The WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables (PMI, 2013, p. 126).

Please tell DN and JW if you have a different understanding than is shown here!

Note that these are in progress and are currently intended to be descriptive, not prescriptive. These are meant to convey a shared understanding and highlight discrepancies in our asynchronous, remote org.
