Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

Documents artifact · ← Artifact catalog

What it is

A tree that breaks the whole project down into smaller and smaller pieces of work.

Why it matters

It is how a huge, vague goal becomes a set of small, assignable pieces of work.

What it looks like here

Not tracked as its own tree: the project's own workstream and task hierarchy plays that role.
