work breakdown structure (WBS) definition

work breakdown structure (WBS)

Project network-modeling step in which the entire job is graphically subdivided into manageable work elements (tasks). WBS displays the relationship of each task to the other tasks, to the whole and the end product (goal or objective). It shows the allocation of responsibility, and identifies resources required and time available, at each stage for project monitoring and management. Also called activity decomposition chart.
