Understanding the WBS A lot of WBS may look like organizational charts. This is because the WBS may be constructed considering only the scope of the project as originally outlined in the project charter, fully elaborated in the project scope statement, and as presented in the project plan. Therefore, the WBS may come across as a graphical depiction of the previously determined scope of the project. The construction of the WBS may sometimes reveal inadequacies in how the scope has been defined. In such cases, the other documents can be corrected or extended. In essence, the WBS depicts the project scope in graphical form and the scope of the project is fully described by the set of deliverables.
