109
PMP/CAPM Prep WorkshopContains Confidential information which may not be disclosed
with out express written authorization from PMI-CIC.
Definition of WBS
• The process of subdividing the Project Deliverables and Project Work into smaller, more manageable components.
• Deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.
• Defines what is “in” and “out” of scope.
110
PMP/CAPM Prep WorkshopContains Confidential information which may not be disclosed

WBS Details• Process of subdividing the deliverables into smaller,
more manageable components.• Organizes and defines the total scope of the project.• Represents the work in the current approved project
scope statement.• Work Packages: The lowest level of planned work
that can be…• Scheduled• Cost estimated• Monitored and controlled

– Steps in Decomposition• Identify Major Deliverables and Related Work• Structure and Organize WBS• Decompose Upper Level WBS into Lower Levels• Develop and Assign Identification Codes to WBS Components (Code
of Accounts)• Verify the Level of Decomposition
• Expert Judgment:– Often used to analyze the information needed in order to
complete the decomposition process– May be technical

• A Deliverable or Project Component at the Lowest Level of Each Branch of the WBS
• Assigned to a Small Team, with Clear Accountability and Responsibility
• Level at which Cost / Time can be Reliably Estimated• Should Present “Schedule Activity” and “Milestones”
Related to the Work Package
