General Work breakdown structure
Creates a high-level understanding of specific deliverables
Decomposition of the project scope to solidify a project schedule and cost estimates.
Shows how different parts of the project are performed together or separately.
Reasons for the wbs method
Best method for avoiding schedule delays and budget overruns.
Assigning roles and responsibilities based on specific deliverables rather than general goals for the project.
Helps avoid over-tasking and under-tasking of elements and distributes workload evenly.
Creates an environment for problem solving without deviating from the schedule.
Logistic Service Improvement WBS
Each contributor has an overall goal to complete for the success of the project.
Meeting with each individual and discuss strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities is the first step.
Creating a glidepath for success in each individual deliverable that is agreed by the participate and the shareholder.
