Acronym of Work Breakdown Structure.


A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a model of the work to be performed in a project organized in a hierarchical structure. The WBS is an important tool which helps you keep an overview of the project:

  • It forms the basis for organization and coordination in the project.
  • It shows the amount of work, the time required, and the costs involved in the project.
  • It is the functional basis for further planning steps in a project, such as process planning, cost planning, scheduling, date and capacity planning, or costing, as well as project control.
