ABSTRACT

To discover new forms of project breakdown structure and to put them to good effect.

To develop analysis techniques and enhance project design skills.

The art of building a deliverables-oriented work breakdown structure is always to include all the elements that add value to the project, and always to exclude elements that would remove value, or else not add much. Handout A17.1, ‘The art of work breakdown structures (deliverablesoriented)’ illustrates this notion.
