The purpose of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is to divide the project into manageable sections or deliverables, helping to define and organize the work required. It does not, however, include time estimates for each task; those estimates are part of the project scheduling process, which often utilizes the WBS as a primary input. Related concepts like milestones and dependencies, which involve time, are included in the project schedule, not the WBS.
