As a project plan is defined, specific tasks are identified by a WBS number, usually following outline form.
Work Breakdown Structure. A product-oriented family tree division of hardware, software, services, and other work tasks which organizes, defines, and graphically displays the product to be produced as well as the work to be accomplished to achieve the specified product. Project Summary Work Breakdown Structure (PWBS). A summary work breakdown structure (WBS) tailored to a specific defense material item by selecting applicable elements from one or more summary WBSs or by adding equivalent elements unique to the project in accordance with MIL-HNDBK 881 (latest revision). Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS). The complete WBS for a contract, developed and used by a contractor within the guidelines of MIL-HNDBK 881 (latest revision) and according to the contract's work statement. The CWBS includes the levels specified in the contract and the contractor's extension.
Work Breakdown Structure. WBS supports the cost reporting requirements of U.S. government contractors (Department of Defense) as well as activity-based costing requirements for commercial manufacturers. WBS typically includes project management, multi-level costing and reporting and budgeting.
Work Breakdown structure. A tool which provides a logical format for organising all the work required to deliver a project. Visually the WBS looks like a organisation chart. The first layer being the Project Goal, the next the milestones, third layer activities and fourth level tasks. A deliverable-orientated grouping of project elements which organises and defines the total scope of the project. (PMI)
work breakdown structure. way in which a project may be divided by level into discrete groups for programming, cost planning and control purposes. Note: see also ‘work package' (The WBS is a tool for defining the hierarchical breakdown of work required to deliver the products of a project. Major categories are broken down into smaller components. These are sub-divided until the lowest required level of detail is established. The lowest units of the WBS become the activities in a project. The WBS defines the total work to be undertaken on the project and provides a structure for all project control systems.)
Work Breakdown Structure, management document and numbering scheme for formalizing and categorizing the various tasks associated with this project into a tiered hierarchy with associated dependencies to enable the efficient identification and tracking of progress on the assigned goals.
Work Breakdown Structure. The breakdown of a project in terms of deliverables.
The grouping of project elements or work into increasingly detailed (and related) tasks/components.
work breakdown structure. A deliverable-oriented group of project elements that organizes and defines the total work scope of the project. Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work.
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is used to plan and manage the process of developing a product, producing a product, and supporting it. A WBS is a mechanism for breaking work into smaller elements, which can be used for assigning resources, budgets, schedules, etc. generally related to some specific project. The WBS provides a basis for controlling projects.
initials for Work Breakdown Structure (see listing).
Work Breakdown Structure. a hierarchical structure consisting of one or more phases of work in a project. A phase represents a major "key event" or milestone in the project. Each phase consists of one or more activities representing "sub-events" required to meet the milestone. Each activity consists of one or more operational steps or tasks representing the individual actions to be taken in the project. The "PRIDE" methodologies represent Work Breakdown Structures.

Work Breakdown Structure is a model of a project, that represents in a hierarchy the actions and activities to be carried out in a project.
Work Breakdown Structure. The complete list of activities that need to be done for a project, used for estimation and scheduling the work
Work Breakdown Structure. This refers to the breaking down of the work in a project into related tasks, sometimes described as an Activity Decomposition Chart.
Work Breakdown Structure. The WBS is an outline of the work that is to be done to complete the project. It is a way to organize the project, it is the basis from which the project is controlled, and it ensures that the plan is complete. See the Project Management Institute Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures in the recommended reading list shown in this workbook (located immediately before this glossary).
Wide Bit Stream. Conventional MiniDisc playback is done with 16-bit signal processing, WBS technology increases the rate to 18-bit or higher. This results in more accurate playback of even subtle sound signals, and greatly improves the signal to noise ratio.
Work Breakdown Structure. A technique for representing all the components, software, services and data contained in the project scope statement. It establishes a hierarchical structure or product oriented "family tree" of elements. It is used to organize, define and graphically display all the work items or work packages to be done to accomplish the project's objectives.
