WBS is a very important stage in project management planning
and the project's scope. In
stage you gain an understanding of location, cost, timeline and
overall goal. Having an
effective planning structure can increased productivity and
prevent changes and avoid
possible team conflictss.
Example: I currently work at a hospital and we need to complete
a renovation for a new
department.
I would need to first meet with the key stakeholders, which
includes the Faculty Chair,
Practice Manager and Finance Manager. I would get an
understanding of their wants/needs,
timeline and budget for the project. I would then develop a team
and breakdown, each
subdivision and access risks and stop the planning project to
complete this project
successfully.
