Oracle Primavera P6 WBS Module

WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)

A work breakdown structure in Primavera P6 is a hierarchical arrangement of the products and services associated with a project. Each level of the work breakdown structure represents an element or task that needs to be accomplished for the project to be completed.

The element contains the tasks and activities needed to produce the deliverable. For instance, a building’s work breakdown structure would have its levels broken down by subcategories of work such as design and engineering, plumbing, and exterior/interior finish.

The work elements are also given a description from which the scope of work can be created. These descriptions provide workers with an end goal or objective that is required to complete the project.

The work break down structure in Primavera P6 enables you to organize a project into logical phases for the purpose of planning and control. Each project is the root node of the work breakdown structure and has a parent/child relationship with the WBS element that is beneath it.

 The work break down structure provides a framework for the development of a project. It is developed by starting at the end product and working backwards to the beginning or until the root of the project is reached. The different ways each element can be categorized includes: systems, subsystems, components, tasks, subtasks, and work packages.
