Project Management Orientation

After you have identified the project requirements for your project or subproject, the next step is to determine how you are going to deliver those requirements.

To do this, remember to define the project deliverables, develop a WBS baseline, and describe the criteria for determining if the scope is realistic and managed.  Also remember that although the product breakdown structure (PBS), work breakdown structure (WBS), and organizational breakdown structure (OBS) are all different, they complement one another; they are different ways of viewing and decomposing the project.

What does it mean to decompose a project?

Decomposition is the subdividing of the major project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components.  You identify the top-level elements of the project and then divide the elements into manageable pieces for scheduling and tracking.
