QUESTION ONE:

The Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures (2006) describes two quality principles for work breakdown structures. The first principle (a quality WBS is a WBS constructed in such a way that it satisfies all the requirements for its use in the project) has two sub-principles: (1) there is a set of CORE characteristics that must be present in every WBS; and (2) there is an additional set of USE characteristics that may vary from one WBS to another.

- Describe the use of work breakdown structures by project managers in an organization and the extent to which the two quality sub-principles listed above are implemented.

QUESTION TWO:

What is the triple constraint, and how are elements of the triple constraint related? Discuss trade-offs that may be required when managing the triple constraint. What element(s) of the triple constraint typically take priority in your organization? Why?
