Question:
According to PMI, the project scope can be elaborated using a scope statement to identify the major deliverables associated with the project and the acceptance criteria for each deliverable. This is done by decomposing the project scope into lower levels of detail in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). This planning tool is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. The WBS is used throughout project planning, execution, and closing and it has many benefits. However, creating a WBS is not an easy task; it takes knowledge of the create WBS process, knowledge of the project/product scope, others need to be involved in creating the WBS (subject matter experts), and it takes time to complete the WBS for larger projects - it's an imprecise process because the amount of detail that should be included in the WBS is subjective.
In this Discussion, put yourself in the role of project manager and explain the relationship between the project scope, the WBS, and WBS Dictionary. Identify at least ONE benefit of creating the WBS and thoroughly discuss this benefit to convince your team that you need to create the WBS for a project.
