What Is a Work Breakdown Structure?

What Is a Work Breakdown Structure?
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a visual project management tool that breaks a project into smaller, more manageable tasks or deliverables. It helps teams clearly define the scope, organize work hierarchically, and assign responsibilities, making complex projects easier to plan, track, and execute.

Choose from Creately’s pre-built WBS templates to match your project type, or start from a blank canvas if you prefer full customization.

  1. Define Your Project Goal

Add the main project objective at the top of your diagram. This serves as the foundation for breaking down the project into tasks.

  1. Break Down Tasks Hierarchically

Divide your project into phases, deliverables, and smaller tasks using Creately’s drag-and-drop shapes and connectors to create a clear hierarchy.

  1. Assign Responsibilities and Resources

Use Creately’s task management tools to assign team members, set priorities, add deadlines, and allocate resources for each task.
