This is a nice simple overview on how to set up your WBS. The narrator also has a lovely British accent which makes it a little more fun.

That was a great way of explaining the WBS and demonstrated what should be included in the WBS thanks for sharing this.

Another good addition here. I learned a few new things about creating a WBS, such as using SMEs to decompose work below the package level.

WBS Tool is a free web software for building Project Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), WBS Charts, Organograms and other types of hierarchies. The Tool works with any web browser with the adobe flash plugin installed. Simple to use.

I like that you do not have to create a log in to use the program. Also the ease of use. Very intuitive.

The tool is very intuitive to use. It has the ability to export as an image, word document or MS project file. That's an important feature. Looks like a great tool.

How detailed should your WBS be? This was a problem I had when thinking about doing a WBS I automatically wanted to make a list...still having trouble thinking outside that box...

WBS is an acronym for "Work Breakdown Structure". Simply said it is the work required to break PM down . It is true that PMs are usually overburdened with project work they are on the verge of breaking down. However, WBS makes PMs life easy.

Free templates for all stages of Project Management. Great simple explanations of terminology and descriptions of what should go in each section of templates that are available. Not only are there documents you would expect such as Project Initiation Documents and Work Breakdown Schedule documents, but also Project Meeting Agenda and Minute templates. When you don't know where to start with compiling PM documents, this site offers some easy to use options.

Great resource! I appreciated that not only templates were included, but also lots of related information about "why and how would I use this."

Giselle, this is a great find! I can't believe these templates are free.

Variety of good and current aritcles

This is an open source project management tool which is comparable to Microsoft Project. It's a desktop application and it generates different charts such as Gantt chart, WBS, and networking. It also generates reports.

Here is the Excel spreadsheet that goes with the guide. Another great resource tool.

Wow, this is a very detailed project management spreadsheet! This looks like a very good point of reference for further developing a WBS. Thanks for sharing.

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is an alternate method of planning and managing projects with an emphasis on the resources required to execute project tasks rather than upon what the traditional WBS encapsulates.

This was interesting! I liked all of the statistics about why projects fail. Being new to all this, it gives me further insight on structuring projects.

Wow, it is hard to believe how many different methodologies there are out there! This one seems really different. I can see how it would be suited for some types of projects, like those with a tangible end product, but I wonder how well it would work with eLearning?
