A project manager needs a visual artifact that follows the 100 % rule by decomposing the overall project deliverable into progressively smaller, manageable components so that all required work is captured. Which artifact should the project manager develop?
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a deliverable-oriented, hierarchical decomposition of the project scope. It can be displayed graphically, in tabular form, or as an outline, and it adheres to the 100 % rule-meaning every level collectively includes all work required to produce the parent deliverable. A product backlog is a prioritized list used in agile projects, a RACI matrix maps responsibilities, and a milestone chart emphasizes schedule checkpoints; none of these artifacts are designed to capture 100 % of the project scope in a hierarchical format.
