== Abstract ==

Work breakdown structure (WBS) are modern management techniques, which may determine the success of a project. It is a list of project outputs and their associated activities and tasks and is usually depicted as a hierarchical breakdown of the work to be done in the project. Furthermore, it takes each output and shows in sequence, from general to specific, all the activities and takes required for its production. The WBS establishes the framework for the following; 

•	Defining the work to be accomplished;
•	Constructing a network plan 
•	Summarizing the cost and schedule status of a program me for progressively higher levels of management 

This article will include what WBS is, when it should be developed, how to develop a WBS, how to use WBS. To get a better understanding of WBS examples of the technique will be illustrated.
