The WBS is a deliverable-oriented, hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work for the project. It organizes what must be produced and breaks the scope down into progressively smaller components called work packages. It does not indicate the order in which tasks will be performed, the dependencies between activities, durations, or resources; those details are addressed later by scheduling tools such as network diagrams or Gantt charts.
