Cost management

1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

WBS

is a deliverable-oriented decomposition of a project into smaller components

can be used

to represent the structure of a product, or

to make a service plan of a project

and provides the necessary framework for the succeeding cost estimate, resource allocation, and time management, etc.

1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

Procedure

decompose the project into work elements

we call these elements or their groups as “activities”.

also called “tasks” or “work packages”

two approaches

Top-down approach

Bottom-up approach

estimate the duration of each activity

“duration” means the time required to complete an activity

determine the precedence relationship between activities

Critical Path, Critical Activities, and Project Completion Time

The project manager should have consideration on ?

Which activities are loose ?

The critical activity may change to slack activity.
