WBS: how far down ?
WBS is decomposed to the work package level
Dividing until you can track project performance
Progressive elaboration allows to refine progressively
No longer able to define planned outcomes
Only detail remains are actions
40 hour rule (40 hours week) rather than 4 levels
4% of the total project
No more than 60 WPs
Must be manageable
