About the Program
Modern Thoughts on WBS
Work Breakdown Structures serve as the foundation for effective project planning and project management. Traditionally, WBS decomposition has been done within this program and project context. Doug Clark will discuss new thoughts and methods for using the work being conducted across an organization to create a standard catalog of work objects that can be leveraged to create a WBS. Topics will include the use of natural language processing, implementing a ‘noun-and-verb’ based approach to WBS and schedule development, and creating organizational catalogs of WBS elements.
