If is generally recognized by project management professionals that the work breakdown structure (WBS) is the foundation of planning, estimating, scheduling, and monitoring activities. Although the lower-level elements of a WBS need to be schedule-oriented, the upper levels can (and should) be deliverable-oriented. The upper levels of a WBS are often either resource-oriented or schedule-oriented, primarily because they are somewhat more convenient to create. Even though it is more difficult and somewhat unfamiliar to develop a deliverable-oriented WBS that contains deliverables at the top levels, schedule- or resource-oriented structures are not as efficient in project monitoring, evaluation, and plan modification when compared to work breakdown structures that are created with a deliverable structure in mind. 'This article presents the rationale and methods for modifying the traditional breakdown structure philosophy in order to obtain a WBS that is focused on deliverables. A deliverable-oriented structure has the added advantage of providing project historical information that can be useful when planning future projects.
