Constraints

Assumptions

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Dictionary

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.

Taking into consideration the importance and the possible size of the WBS, it may be better attached to this scope management plan as a separate document.

The WBS can be prepared in different ways including commonly used project management software such as MS Project, Primavera or others.
