  The Work Breakdown Structure is a technique that divides the work to delivery a project in small parts, which can be easily managed and executed. Thus, before defining project activities, it is important to break the project delivery in “work packages”, which the smallest possible parts, that still represent a deliverable which has value to sponsors or other stakeholders. Good Project Management tools assist in WBS definition, diving the project delivery in small parts, which are gradability divided, and from them define project tasks, which will later have their effort, duration, resources and costs estimated, preparing the project plan to be executed. Using dotproject.cloud you may elaborate project WBS and also derive project tasks based on its structure. Have you ever tried it out?

The project charter is an important document to formalize the initiation of any project conducted in a professional way. This document establishes a common understanding between the parts (stakeholders), especially the sponsors and the executors, being the basis for a formal contract that will financially enable the project development. Beyond a high-level estimation of duration and costs, these documents need to bring some more information that makes the project goals and conditions of its execution clear, in a way its feasibility becomes tangible for both parts. Here is important information Project Charter needs to present: Justification  ❓ Explain the reason for this project should be executed. What is the problem to be solved? Objectives  🎯 What are the benefits to business? What is going to be improved from the current scenario? Expected Results  🧭 What are the main deliverables from this project? Include partial deliverable that may be tangible. ...

A key factor for reaching a project goal is to have a clear Scope Statement and understanding of what needs to be done and delivered. However normally complex deliverables can block teamwork, in a way individuals focus on the work in what are more “explicit” defined, such as operational activities, including simple communications, small tasks, small improvements and corrections. However, the real work, which will move the project further, is left by side, losing space for the routines and operational tasks. For this purpose, a good WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) may assist the project to be smoothly achieved. When we can divide the work into a way the things that have to be constructed or done are detailed, reducing any doubt about the next step, the project planning has great chances of being properly executed. Each team member will understand what has to be done, even the ones with limited technical competence, thus reducing procrastination, which is normally incremented by doubt...
