Work Breakdown Structure

what happens if it's really hard to break down a task to just a few days - research for project may take weeks to do

RE: Work Breakdown Structure

Hi Janet

Thank you for your question

It is usually possible to break tasks down into sub tasks of no more than a few days; for instance research could be broken down into a series of subtasks such as "Online research", "Library Visit", "Interviews", etc. By doing so you make the overall task "research" more structured and precise.

Regards

Stephen


 

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
