![]() ![]() See the bold text (these are all Summary Tasks). ![]() Take another close look at the WBS work plan excerpt above in Table 5-1. a split task is a work task in which there is a defined interval, within the overall task duration, during which no project activity occurs.a milestone task is a work task that either occurs at a single point in time (e.g., submittal of a deliverable) or is presented as a single end point in a task duration.a recurring task is a work task in which a work activity occurs according to a fixed schedule (e.g., planned project status meetings that occur on a specific day at 2-week intervals).Some other task type terms are used to describe special task characteristics: It is important to understand that these work tasks are where the work actually occurs-all summary tasks at upper levels in the WBS hierarchy just serve as headings (like outline headings) to organize the project work. The bottom level subtasks in a WBS hierarchy (no subtasks below them) are called work tasks or work packages. A subtask is any task below a summary task in a WBS hierarchy. In Table 5-1 above, the top-level Task #4 is a summary task as are Task #s 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. Some important terminology is important to understand how a WBS is created:Ī summary task is any task in a WBS that has subtasks below it.

Table 5-1: Example of WBS (portion of a GIS project plan) Task # ![]() This includes a top-level Task #4 with a WBS task hierarchy 3-levels deep with subtasks and sub-subtasks. Table 5-1 below shows a WBS task hierarchy for a portion of a project involving GIS database design and development. The WBS presents project tasks in a hierarchy, with major (top-level) level tasks and subtasks. The same can be said about a project-clearly stating objectives and defining an approach for project work gets much of the way toward a successful project. John Dewey (of the Dewey Decimal System) said, "a problem well-stated is half-solved". The WBS is the "meat" of the plan because it describes the work required to meet project objectives. The WBS focuses on the work activities, completion of defined deliverables, and the timing of tasks (taking into account all factors and constraints that impact the start and end dates of tasks). A work breakdown structure (WBS) organizes project work into manageable tasks which are necessary to carry out and complete the project. ![]()
