WBS and gantt Chart

WBS

Creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) helps you be both comprehensive and specific when managing a project: Thinking in detail is critical when planning your project, but you also need to consider the big picture. If you fail to identify a major part of your project’s work, you won’t have the chance to detail it. A work breakdown structure is key.

Steps 

• Determine the major deliverables or products to be produced.
• Divide each of these major deliverables into its component deliverables in the same manner.
• Divide each of these work pieces into its component parts.
