Creating a WBS
Structuring Projects > Setting Up The Work Breakdown Structure > About Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)
Create a work breakdown structure (WBS) to divide a project into levels. You can create sibling WBSs to represent WBSs that are hierarchically equal, or child WBSs to represent WBSs that are subordinate to projects or other WBSs.
To create a WBS:
- Click Projects.
- On the Projects navigation bar, click Activities.
- On the Activities page:
- Select a WBS or project. The WBS can act as a sibling or a parent. The project will always act as a parent.
- Click Row Actions
- To add a sibling, select Add Sibling WBS.
- To add a child, select Add Child WBS.
- To add a WBS from a template, select Add WBS from Template.
- Click Save.
Tip
- The WBS will automatically be assigned a name based upon the project or WBS you select. For example, if the project or WBS is named WBS: Business Project 1.5, the application will automatically name the new WBS: Business Project 1.6.
