WBS and WP Evolution
As a project progresses through its life cycle
- And planning becomes more detailed
- It may be necessary to further subdivide existing work packages
- This will push them to the next lower level
Work Package does NOT represent a level in the Work Breakdown Structure
- It is a mistake to insist on all WPs being only at the lowest WBS level
- This requires the insertion of "dummy" elements at intermediate levels
- And can cause great confusion
