Abstract

Work breakdown structure (WBS) is a principle of project management that arranges project elements based on the deliverables instead of a schedule activity. which summarizes and defines the whole scope of work of the project, and each descending level represents a more detailed definition of the project work. WBS is always at the center of the planning process, and it is also an important basis for making progress plans, resource requirements, cost budgets, risk management plans, and procurement plans. [1].. WBS is also an important basis for controlling project changes. The key process for building a WBS is to disintegrate the assignments into an amount of light workload and distribute it to every individual who is considered as a participant. [2]
