3. • Definition : Includes the processes required to ensure that project
includes all the work required and only the work required, to
complete the project successfully
• Processes in project scope management which falls under planning
process groups are
• Plan scope management
• Collect requirement
• Define scope
• Create WBS
Project Scope Management
4. Definition:
The process of subdividing
project deliverables and
project work into smaller,
more manageable
components
Project Management Institute (2017) A Guide To The
Project Management Body of Knowledge, 6 Ed,
Pennsylvania, p. 156
Notes:
Technique in creation of WBS is
decomposition. It means you break
down the scope into more smaller
deliverables. The more detail, the
more you have level of WBS
Create WBS
5. Example of WBS (1 of 3)
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Work package
Definition of Work Package :
The lowest level of WBS that
contains activities
Notes:
The more you decompose the
WBS, the more detail the
deliverables but the more effort for
you to control your project
6. Example of WBS (2 of 3)
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Work package
Definition of Work Package :
The lowest level of WBS that
contains activities
7. Example of WBS (3 of 3)
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Work package
Level 3
Definition of Work
Package :
The lowest level of
WBS that contains
activities
8. 1. The smallest level of WBS is called
work package
2. Activities are set under work
packages

Example of WBS
9. • Decomposition : a technique used for dividing and
subdividing the project scope and project deliverables
into smaller, more manageable parts
• Work package : the work defined at the lowest level of
the WBS for which cost and duration can be estimated
and managed
Explanations
12. Defines all work of the project and only the work of the project, thereby
clarifying the project scope
Reflects the input from all team members to ensure buy-in
Provides the baseline for subsequent change control
Primary input to other project management process (e.g. Schedule, Cost
Estimates, etc.)
Provides framework for project control, performance monitoring and the
foundation for communication with al stakeholders
Ensures the work of the project correlates appropriately with the
Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) and the Organizational Breakdown
Structure (OBS)
Importance of WBS
13. Exercise 1
• Propose a WBS up to 3 (three) level based on project that you
have proposed in project charter in previous exercise
• Do brainstorming with your team in how you are going to
decompose your scope
• The tasks below level 3 WBS is called ‘activities’ (at the same
time you define your activities)
