Objectives

• Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS)

• Produce a statement of work (SOW)
• Compose a GANTT Chart
Scope Management

Project Scope Management includes the processes

required to ensure that the project includes all the
work required, and only the work required, to
complete the project successfully.
Project Scope Management process:

Collect Requirements – The process of defining

and documenting stakeholders’ needs to meet the
project objectives.
Project Scope Management process:

Define Scope – The process of developing a

detailed description of the project and product.
Project Scope Management process:

Create WBS – The process of subdividing project

deliverables and project work into smaller, more
manageable components.
Project Scope Management process:

Verify Scope – The process of formalizing

acceptance of the completed project deliverables.
Project Scope Management process:

Control Scope – The process of monitoring the

status of the project and product scope and
managing changes to the scope baseline.
The Work
Breakdown
Structure
WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of
the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish
the project objectives and create the required deliverables ,
with each descending level of the WBS representing an
increasingly detailed definition of the project work.
 • Organizes and defines
the total scope of the
project
The WBS • Represents the work
specified in the current
approved project scope
statement
 • Work packages is the
lowest component of
WBS
The WBS
• Can be scheduled, cost
estimated, monitored,
and controlled
Decomposition is the subdivision of the project deliverables
into smaller, more manageable components until the work
and deliverables are defined to the work package level.
• Sample WBS with branches decomposed
• Sample WBS Structure Organized by Phase
• Sample WBS with Major Deliverables
Decomposition of the upper level WBS components requires
subdividing the work for each of the deliverables or
subprojects into its fundamental components.

Verifying the correctness of the decomposition requires

determining that the lower-level WBS components are those
that are necessary and sufficient for the completion of the
corresponding higher level deliverables.
