    @Alfredo,
    There are no stupid questions, but stupid answers.
    @Marijana,
    The definition for WBS according to the PMI is

    The WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.
    This means that the project is divided into smaller parts. This division often extends over several levels and there are different approaches that differ from project to project.

    If think for example of building a house, then we might subdivide into design, earthworks, basement, ground floor, …, roof, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, finishing, landscaping, etc. …
    These work packages can be further divided if it makes sense and finally include activities that are necessary to produce that package.
    For the client e.g., it might make sense to break up into sub-contractors.
    The main purpose is to estimate time, cost and resources.

    Best regards,

  6. The WBS can be generated using project management software. However if for some reason there is no software used, than you may create the WBS in Word, Excel etc. and possibly import it to your planning software afterwards.
    The type of software depends to different factors. In Middle East Primavera is very common in construction industry and sometimes even a clients requirement. There are many software packages including free downloadable open source. The right software maybe chosen according to project needs.

    Best regards
