A work breakdown structure forms a major project deliverable that put in order the project team's work into subtasks. By so doing the work breakdown structure describes the scope into tasks that a project team can fully understand. At each level of the WBS further task description and details are provided. It begins with the project at the top as the main deliverable followed by further decomposition into sub-deliverables utilizing an outline hierarchy. Such sub-deliverables are further decomposed in a manner that a single individual is assigned where the particular work packages needed to create the sub- deliverable are determined and clustered together (Norman, Brotherton, & Fried, 2011). The work package embodies the list of tasks in creating a given distinct unit of work. The work packages are defined on the WBS and assigned a budget and thus easy to track financial progress of the project as well as performance.
