5/38

Importance of WBSIf I could wish but one thing for every project, it wouldbe a comprehensive and detailed WBS. The lack of agood WBS probably results in more inefficiency,

schedule slippage and cost overruns on projects than anyother single cause. When a consultant is brought in toperform the role ofprojectdoctor, invariably there hasbeen no WBS developed. No one knows what work has

been done, nor what work remains to be done. The firstthing to do is assemble the planning team and teachthem how to create a WBS.

(Devaux, 1999)

Compatibility of Codes with other

SystemsA code is a short and precise method of conveying

Each item has costs that must be estimated, budgeted,spent, measured, reported, assessed and recovered.
