Software Development Work Breakdown Structure

A work breakdown structure (WBS) for a software development project decomposes it into five phases — planning, design, development, testing, and deployment — each with 2–3 concrete deliverables. The WBS org-chart format makes the full project scope visible in a single diagram.

A project manager kicking off a new e-commerce platform build needs a WBS to define scope for the project charter.

Cosa contiene questo disegno

Leggi le decisioni che ne stanno alla base.

01Five top-level phases follow waterfall decomposition

in an agile project, phases become epics and deliverables become features.

02

WBS numbers (1.1, 1.2) on each node make cross-referencing in the schedule unambiguous.

03Leaf nodes are concrete deliverables, not activities

activities map to deliverables separately in the schedule.

Add a 0. Project Management phase (project plan, status reports, change management) for full PMI-compliant WBS structure.
