How far do you break the work down? This can depend upon the size and complexity of the project and, yes, you can break it down too far and get too detailed. The project should be broken down to the level where cost and duration can be more accurately estimated and effectively managed, and generally involves the following steps: Identifying and analyzing the deliverables and related work Structuring and organizing the WBS Decomposing the upper levels of the WBS into lower-level detailed components Developing and assigning identification codes to the WBS components Verifying that the degree of decomposition of the deliverables is appropriate For this assignment: You will create two types of a WBS-coded list and a visual work breakdown structure that outlines the work required to complete the breakroom expansion project. You can define the scope of work and capture this information in your WBS
