  1. Hey Erik,

    That’s an awesome article. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Interesting comments about using a WBS…many projects don’t.

  3. Erik,
    Thanks for the article, but I have to point out that what you are showing as a WBS…really isn’t. MS Project can represent a WBS, but a WBS is deliverables-based, not task-based. Tasks belong in the project scope. I know Project ends up with durations for each entry, but in summary, the WBS is what you deliver, not the how or when you deliver it.

  4. Hi Chris,

    I get a number of WBS puritains every now and then in my discussions on the WBS as I promote its use in Project Professional. I would love to direct them to a source that backs up your statement of “this not being a WBS”.

    Do you have any source that backs your story that I could use for this? PMBOK or anything alike?

    Thanks for participating,
