Work Breakdown Structure
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
A Work Breakdown Structure is graphical representation relevant in Project Management. It is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of a project into smaller tasks (deliverables or components).
Each more detailed level represents an increasingly refined definition of a project component. Project components may be products or services. Linking project elements with required resources becomes an input to resource planning:
- Identify project deliverables to be produced during the project,
- Estimate the size or each deliverable in suitable units
- Estimate the resources required to complete the deliverable
- Estimate the cost of the completed deliverable in suitable units (time, money, material etc)
- Aggregate
PlantUML Elements
A PlantUML Work Breakdown Structure is constructed as a nested list of subtasks.
