What is a Work Breakdown Structure?

A WBS is a tool to manage your project and tasks from a delivery point of view. Proper project planning is crucial to setting clear expectations in order to complete your project on time and on budget. An organized work breakdown structure can break down your large projects into more manageable sub tasks, allowing you and your team to focus on key deliverables and milestones.

How it is structured

The WBS schedule starts with the Project Name and the main tasks.
