3D WBS

In the Open Standard

Dear all,

I would like to talk about a method I developed about Work Breakdown Structure: the 3D WBS.

The idea is that there are 3 dimensions by project phase.

  • Engineering Task = Discipline x Functional Systems x Activity or (Discipline x SBS x ABS)
  • Procurement Task = Localisation x Product x Activity or (GBS x PBS x ABS)
  • Construction Task = Localisation x Product x Activity or (GBS x PBS x ABS)
  • Commissioning Task = Discipline x Functional Systems x Activity or  (Discipline x SBS x ABS)

There are 3D Cubes under each phase.

The list of tasks is obtained by matrix.

I think that all the projects have this standard WBS.

What do you think about this approach?

Regards,

    Hi Jean-Yves, Spider Project

    Hi Jean-Yves,

    Spider Project users can create any number of parallel WBS for the same project and switch between them on mouth-click.

    We usually recommend to create at least three WBS - based on objects, processes, and responsibility. Other structures may be based on locations and other properties of specific project.

    So your approach is supported.

    Best Regards,

    Vladimir

    Hi, For example, this is the

    Hi,

    For example, this is the matrix for the Construction phase:

    After analysis of the all the correspondences, we obtain the list of task below:

     Finally, if we look at each phase, we have this WBS.

     

     Best regards,
