Work Breakdown Structure

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a project management tool that visualizes the scope of a project and breaks it down into manageable sections. Coursera's WBS catalogue teaches you how to effectively design and implement this tool for successful project execution. You'll learn the principles of creating a WBS, including identifying deliverables, defining work packages, and structuring projects. Additionally, you'll understand the relation between the WBS, project scheduling, and costing. Whether you're a project manager, business analyst, or someone transitioning into these fields, mastering the WBS will enhance your ability to manage projects efficiently and effectively.
