    I had to watch it twice. I spent the entire first time trying to figure out how they mirrored the video. LOL

    I am a PM for Software Applications I was watching video's just to freshen up on my approach and this is the best explanation of WBS anywhere. You keep it simple which makes it easy to understand, thank you.

    You should show us how would the Budget be created in the Wbs ? How did you estimate the budget ??

    Work Package is NOT a task. Work Package is the lowest level deliverable in the WBS. It's a noun and not a verb. Work Packages contain activities.

      Then what's the difference between a product-oriented and a Task WBS? This for one is a Hybrid WBS

      The video is mirrored. Check out his shirt pocket and watch. It's on the opposite side. Such a cool idea!

    How would you break down continuous tasks in to WBS? Say you’re building 100 airplanes, each plane would require assembly, testing, painting etc. You would start assembling first few and while they are being tested and painted you assemble the next few. The stages are overlapped and each with multiple instances(planes)

    Tasks and activities are not Work Packages. Work Packages are made up of tasks/activities. Work Packages are deliverables, like Mech design drawings. Also, best practice is to develop an estimate from the bottom up, not top down. The goal of the WBS is to identify all of the scope of a project so that it can be monitored and controlled. That scope is then used to
    develop a schedule (activities), assign resources, and develop a budget.

    @nathancourtaney5867 5 лет назад

    This video was cool and all but how are the words he is writing not backwards.. Is he just good at writing backwards??

    • @rexhart203
      @rexhart203 5 лет назад

      writing???? Man, that is hieroglyphics! I have seen doctors who wrote better. If you can't do it properly, don't do it. takes away from a great explanation.

    This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "what is a design proposal engineering?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Biycarlett Astounded Builder - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to download thousands of business and project management templates minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got cool success with it.
