A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of a project into smaller, more manageable components. It organizes the project's deliverables, tasks, and subtasks into a structured framework. By breaking down the project into smaller elements, the WBS facilitates better planning, resource allocation, and understanding of the project scope and objectives.

Creating a work breakdown structure involves identifying and describing each task in a project. To have better visibility, make it more usable, and be able to edit project tasks interactively in a PMI standard work breakdown structure, we created the Capture WBS Editor for ServiceNow SPM. This will help you, especially in larger projects with a lot of different tasks and phases, to keep track of the progress and dependencies, where the classical Gantt chart might reach its limits.
