Work Package
• Breaking down work into a hierarchy of
activities, tasks, and work packages is called
decomposition.
A. Functional Decomposition
In principal there is no difference between a WBS
and a functional decomposition of a system.
B. Granularity
In the final analysis it is the project manager who
will decide on the architecture of the WBS and
the level of detail required. This is important
because the project manager is accountable for
the success of the project.
2. Bottom Up Approach
• Identifying the activities in the project is to
take a bottom up approach. This approach is more
like a brainstorming session that an organized
approach to building the WBS.
4. Cost/time estimate
Each activity should have an estimated time and
cost of completion. Being able to do this at the
lowest level of decomposition in the WBS allows
you to aggregate to higher levels and estimate
the total project cost and the completion date.
5. Acceptable duration limits
Activities have duration of less than two
calendar weeks. This seems to be a common
practice in many organizations.
6. Activity independence
It is important that each activity be independent.
Once work has begun on the activity, it can
continue reasonably without interruption and
complete.
