level of programmes

Hi Ronron

Level 1  Whole Project

Level 2  Zones or Sections

Level 3  Workfront summaries under Level 2

Level 4  Task Cascades for each workfront

Level 5 Individual tasks

This is based on the a work front with different trades being summarised underneath - Vertical planning

Not All trades summarised with different work front descriptioons - Horizontal planning which is not ideal.

Best regards

Mike T.

I see the pretentious of some to define a "Universal" self serving definition of levels quite stupid. It shall means different to many, depending on your needs.

I use several WBS definitions for a single job, each with different levels, this complicates the above myopic vision.

P.S. If negative float is not an erroneous concept I guess negative level is not.
