Overview/Description
Successful projects can only happen with the implementation of planning techniques that define project objectives in sufficient detail. Projects can quickly get out of control if the appropriate actions aren't taken initially. A project's work breakdown structure (WBS) provides the foundation for defining work as it relates to the project objectives and establishes the structure for managing the work to completion. This course will highlight the importance of the WBS and how it relates to the overall success of a project. Through interactive learning strategies and real-life scenarios, the learner will explore these concepts and gain a better understanding of the project management processes related to creating and verifying a work breakdown structure. This course will cover the project inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of the Create Work Breakdown Structure process, the third process in the Project Scope Management knowledge area. This course will assist in preparing the learner for the PMI® certification exam. This course is aligned with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) - Fourth Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2008.
