WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE

(WBS) TEMPLATE

OUTLINE VIEW

The outline view presents an easy to view and understand layout for the WBS. It is also a good layout to use when

developing the WBS because you can easily make changes, especially since the Microsoft Word auto numbering

feature updates the WBS Code automatically.

TREE STRUCTURE VIEW (GRAPHICAL):

The Tree Structure View is the most popular format for the WBS. It presents an easy to understand view into the

WBS; however, it is also tricky to create without an application specifically designed for creating this organizational

chart structure. The Tree Structure below was created using only Microsoft Word and the SmartArt graphics option

under the insert menu.
