Work Breakdown Structure

a "check list" of work to be accomplished;

a structured approach;
the scope of the work, broken down into smaller and more specialized work;
a document in which the major project work packages are identified;
a document in which the major project outputs and responsibilities are defined; and

an integration of schedule and budget.

allow better and more detailed planning;

facilitate the budget and schedule preparation process;
facilitate assignment of responsibility to organization
and/or functional area; and
provide a structure for monitoring and reporting of
project development and progress.
