Chapter Name: Develop a Work Breakdown Structure
Description:Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Learners will break down the project scope into manageable components using hierarchical diagrams or outlines.
Purpuse:Learners will break down the overall project scope into smaller, manageable components. Using hierarchical diagrams or outlines, they will structure the work into tasks and sub-tasks, making the project easier to manage and track.
Rational:A WBS clarifies deliverables, supports task assignment, and improves resource and time estimation.

Assessment Questions
Assessment 1 : An understanding of the concepts related to developing a work breakdown structure as well as the flow of data is demonstrated
This assessment evaluates the understanding of work breakdown structure (WBS) concepts and how data flows through the process.
Assessment 2 : The importance and benefits of developing a work breakdown structure can be explained and motivated
This assessment checks if the importance and benefits of creating a WBS are clearly explained, including its role in organizing and managing the project.
Assessment 3 : Source documents that are used to develop a work breakdown structure can be listed and their application explained
This assessment ensures that the relevant source documents for developing a WBS are identified and their purpose clearly understood.
Assessment 4 : Tools and techniques to develop a work breakdown structure can be selected for a specific purpose and motivated
This assessment ensures that the appropriate tools and techniques for developing a WBS are selected based on the specific needs of the project and are well-motivated.
Assessment 5 : Work breakdown structure documents can be identified, the application explained, evaluated for completeness, gaps identified and corrective measures motivated
This assessment involves evaluating the WBS documents, ensuring their completeness, identifying any gaps, and recommending corrective actions if necessary.
