Why add a WBS to your Gantt chart
A Gantt chart answers “when”. A work breakdown structure answers “what”. Clients and stakeholders often understand a project faster from the WBS tree, and planning sessions go better when everyone can see every deliverable. Building the WBS by hand means typing the same tasks twice. This add-on reads them straight from your Gantt Excel plan. Read more in Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) explained.
