Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)

 

While gathering and elicitation of the requirement form the clients, many clients asks me about what is WBS. So, for them, here i have outlined it as per my view in a very simple terms about it. After reading this i am sure even a novice person will understand the excerpts out of it.

WBS typically means “Mapping the project work” , “Break the deliverable down into manageable chunks”, “Schedule of Project”

What is WBS ?

•  A Work Breakdown Structure is a elaborated/detailed list of all the features/things/tasks that are needed to be delivered and the activities that need to be carried out to successfully complete the any project.
• Basically WBs is nothing but a common understanding of the project in terms of structures and points.
• There can be multiple features/sub-tasks under one task. That means descending level of WBS which in turn elaborate the description of minute project elements which needs to be considered.
• WBS is also used as Feature list/Risk Issues (FE/RI) which list down all the feature lists along with the risk issues and the men effort which needs to put in to develop the particular feature/task.

For whom this WBS is ? This technique is often used by Project Managers during the formal project planning methodologies.

What WBS contains ?Typically WBS contains Scope, Project Deliverables, Resources, Process, Milestones, Assumptions, Time line , Total Cost, Contingency hours, Risk Issues, Comments from PM Team & Client etc.

Why to create WBS ?

• Carry transparency between Client & Project Management Team :
• While creating WBS, Project Managers and other stakeholders will be very much clear about as to what they have to provide you to their potential client.
• At the same time, client when receives it, becomes very clear as what he will receive from the PM Team.
• So, in nutshell, to be on the same page, WBS plays a vital role.
• WBS adds value while being with the Project Scope Document.
• WBS can be one part of either Project Scope Document/Business Requirement Document or can be a standalone document.
• Before the project will be started, if WBS is in place then client will feel very sure about the deliverables they will get after the completion of the project.
• In case, if PM team has not developed and deliver the project as per communicated and agreed upon, they can raise the objection while showing the WBS to PM Team.
• Even for the development team keeps WBS in front of them while developing it ensure that they will not forget any critical things.
• PM Team will be very clear that they are not going to provide any thing which are not written in the WBS.

Thus, WBS really helps !

How to make WBS :

There are various tools available to create WBS. For example, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Excel(P.S. – its very easy to use)

Hope, this much information will add on the value to understand WBS.

One year completion @ IndiaNIC

Today I have completed one year of my joining at IndiaNIC. Yes, its one year since I am associated with IndiaNIC. . I proud of that ! I am really enjoying a lot working here.

First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Sandeep Agarawal(Sam) who has introduce me and given an opportunity to work also providing a platform on which I learned a lot from him. Apparently, my interview was tough enough. I remember that It was around 1:30 hour or so!! But I had enjoyed the interview with him. Many questions were bombarded on me! :) Questions and Answers, Questions and Answers! :) Though, I liked that interview, and the way he was asking questions and the way I was replying to it. None the less, actually it wasn't mere interview but a very good conversation by which I could get to know many things.

Under the skilled umbrella of Sam, my whole team has learned a lot. We used to keep trainings at morning 5:00 am to 7:00 daily. And we all shared each others’ experiences, thoughts etc.

I am also very happy that I got a chance to work with people who have burning desire to work, very talented, enthusiastic and dynamic people like Rakesh Patel and Atit Purani.

At last but not least Mr. Sandeep Mundra, how can I forget him? I am at position today just because of him. He is the CEO and co-founder of this company. I had never interacted with him much, but I would like to work with him directly in the future if time permits!

It is obviously a great experience where all colleagues are co-operative. Especially, I am thankful to all Ankur, Karan, Tejas, Zahid bhai as we all worked as a Nic family members.

Moreover, IndiaNIC has successfully completed its decade this year. Similarly I too have completed my first year in IndiaNIC. I have attended very good events in IndiaNIC.
