Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): You Shall Manage No Project Without It

The major output of the decomposition processes mentioned previously is the project's Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is a hierarchical representation and definition of the project's work as it relates to project objectives and provides the structure for managing this work through completion. As a result, it is a key tool for the project manager and is highly valued by the PMI organization.

Understand that PMI places great value and priority on the WBS. It may be the most important tool to the project manager.
