    This document outlines the work breakdown structure (WBS) for constructing a house. It divides the work into four levels: 1) project, 2) major elements, 3) specific tasks, and 4) individual activities. Level two includes major elements like concrete, framing, plumbing, etc. Level three further breaks these down into specific tasks, and level four into individual activities. It also discusses developing a WBS dictionary to define each work element and an organization breakdown structure to assign responsibilities to different departments for accomplishing the work.

    necessary to complete the
    house

    The individual tasks necessary to complete the house.

    Level 1

    Level 1: is the highest level (ACME)


    where the project (house) will be
    summarized.
    NOTE: We assume that the design is complete, all
    permits issued, all material ordered and
    inspection happens

    Level 2 is identified at the project level: House. It


    correspond to Level 1. In this case, the code is 1.1.

    Level 1

    Level 2
    2

    Divide the work into the major elements needed to build a house. You
    divide Level 3 into six elements: concrete, framing, plumbing,
    electrical, interior and roofing. These are both major deliverables and
    milestones for managing the project. They also enable the project by task.
    Each codes at level 3 is unique to the project and starts with the WBS code
    from the level above (11.11.1.1).
    Do we need another level?

    Level 1
    Level 2

    Level 3

    Level 4 of the WBS will enable us to manage the project as desired. All of
    our contractors fit into specific elements at level 4, and so do all specific
    departments. Organization Breakdown Structure (OBS)

    The WBS is complete. It does include the necessary components to


    manage the project by task.

    WBS Dictionary
    The WBS dictionary is a narrative documentation of the effort needed to
    accomplish all work defined in the WBS. The WBS dictionary is
    developed for the lowest level element in the WBS only.
    To better understand how a WBS and a WBS dictionary work, lets
    compare it to a book and the books table of contents:

    The WBS is the table of contents for the project. It captures the
    contents in an organized fashion (chapters, subchapter).

    The WBS dictionary is the book itself. It tells the story. In our case
    the story is what work will be accomplished and what outputs will
    be produced in each of the WBS elements. The total of these
    descriptions is how a house will be built and what is needed to build
    the house.

    The WBS dictionary will often lead to the development of the Scope of
    work (SOW) for the project.

    WBS Dictionary

    WBS Dictionary describes each component of


    the WBS e.g.
    Milestone
    Deliverables
    Activities
    Scope
    Resources

    Cost

    Organization Breakdown Structure (OBS)


    Develop

    the Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS) for the


    project. This indicates the organizational relationships and is
    used as the framework for assigning work responsibilities. See
    next slide.

    The

    OBS is structured by Responsible Department and then


    by Performing Department at the lowest level. This
    Performing Department level is where the responsibility and
    resource needed to accomplish the project will be assigned.

    With

    the relationships and responsibilities defined, second and


    final step is to merge the WBS and OBS.
