Identifying Project Activities : Chapter 15
SUMMARY:
Every project is a group of several activities. The expected project outcome can be achieved only when all required activities are identified, planned for, and implemented. The WBS is an useful tool that enables the project manager to identify all the activities and put them in proper sequence.
The WBS helps the project manager to have a clear vision of the entire project and overall processes required to achieve project objectives. The WBS which breaks down the project into several activities, can be used both as a planning and a reporting tool. The project manager should ensure that the WBS is flexible and that changes can be incorporated when needed. While sequencing the activities, the project manager can use one of two approaches: a top-down approach or a bottom-up approach.
