4. Why do we want to breakdown requirements into smaller tasks?

1. Why is project planning NOT a onetime activity?

2. Why does the Project Manager need to establish project scope?

Summarize

work breakdown structure that details
all task packages that the project team is responsible for

Easier to estimate cost, time and resources needed for each requirement

Easier to manage work

To overview all the information needed of the project

To create scope and boundaries for the project and each requirement

Easier to measure and control

To manage resources

  • The decomposition of the system into “task packages”
    will define configuration items

Documenting Language

Document The Project Plan

Project planning is an iterative activity, as well as the
project plan documentation
