Work Breakdown Structure

(WBS) Tree

The graphical structure of the WBSis an easy way to identify theproject components andrelationships of those

components; however, the WBScan be displayed in anotherformat as well: the Tree format.Both formats are acceptable. Thegraphical format is at times easier

to understand, but can take upconsiderable space in a report.The tree is not as easy tounderstand but is more easilyincorporated into a report format.

Note the WBS codes and thestructure of the Levels in the Treeformat mirror the graphical format.The content has not changed;only the way the content is

presented has changed.

an ar as cs Ganttcharts are a projectplanning toolthatcanbe

usedtorepresentthetiming oftasks requiredto

complete a project. Because Ganttcharts aresimpletounderstand andeasy toconstruct, theyareusedby mostprojectmanagers forallbutthemostcomplexprojects.

In a Ganttchart, eachtasktakes uponerow. Datesrun along thetop in increments ofdays, weeks ormonths, depending on thetotallengthofthe

project. Theexpectedtime foreachtask is

representedby a horizontalbarwhoseleftendmarks theexpectedbeginning ofthetask andwhoserightendmarks theexpectedcompletiondate. Tasks may run sequentially, in paralleloroverlapping.
