WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE FOR MOBILE APPLICATION 2
Work Breakdown Structure for Mobile Application
A work breakdown structure (WBS) is the process of dividing a project up into tasks that
are manageable and logically ordered. A good work breakdown structure is part of the foundation
of a good project (Rose, 2006). To create a WBS for a project that is focused on developing a
new mobile application, it is important to first start with a thorough first draft of the baseline plan
for the project. The baseline plan serves as a great resource to explain the intended project
outcome, it generally includes information on the expected costs and timeline for a project. This
essay will look at important roles and resources to consider when developing a baseline plan as
well as managing tasks and the plan as a dynamic document to be responsive to learning and
maturation.
