Live Webinar May 30th, 2012 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT

Presented by: InfoTech (Rep 1223)

Defining the project and its deliverables is essential to project acceptance. But the work doesn’t stop there. Each of those deliverables must be planned, estimated, managed and controlled and that involves breaking them down into smaller, more manageable units. This is the primary objective of developing a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

There is no one, single way to construct a WBS. There are many variations based on project type, industry and company.

The construction of your project’s WBS will establish the framework for many future decisions and significantly impact how you will create and build the schedule. It is a critical skill that each project manager should develop.

In this session we will discuss:

  • What should be included in the WBS
  • Which orientation works best for your project
  • Getting started and establishing the foundation
  • Finishing up and defining the appropriate number of levels

Who should attend: This webinar is designed for those responsible for defining and planning various project work efforts such as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), team members, project managers / coordinators, program managers and those who support projects such as functional or departmental managers..
