WBS

Hi All,

Just having a discussion on a recent schedule for a program I am working on, where an activity did not occur and has now been highlighted as a miss from the WBS. It is involved cycle development of piece of equipment.

The standard WBS we use calls out cycle development and is further broken down in(1) protcols / documentation, (2)execution and (3) reports. I break out each of these per piece of equipment as needed and picked up during the interactive planning session.

Can anyone telll me what is the level a WBS needs to go to, ie. what exactly should be captured in a WBS. My understanding is it should be high level and each task cpatured at activity level. Your WBS should not cover Level 3 or Level 4 activities?

Would be grateful to get feedback here

Thanks,

Mike
