Work Breakdown Structure - Misconceptions

Misconceptions

• A WBS is not an exhaustive list of work. It is instead a comprehensive classification of project scope.
• A WBS is neither a project plan, a schedule, nor a chronological listing. It specifies what will be done, not how or when.
• A WBS is not an organizational hierarchy, although it may be used when assigning responsibilities. See also: responsibility assignment (RACI) matrix (also called a Staffing Matrix).
