In attempt to set up a work breakdown structure for the class, I decided to break it down by each week we have and will encounter.   I felt that this approach would ensure that each of the weekly requirements were being completed, prior to moving onto the next section .  It will be interesting to post this and read about how other people perceive and develop their own WBS compared to my own understanding.  While I think this assignment certainly helps to get the concept of what this structure is, I can see that it will play a key role in my practicum project with regards to the construction portion of the project.  According to Baum & Benjamin (2017) utilizing a WBS during remodeling can keep a project on time and save costs as it serves as a communication tool and can help close communication gaps.

It’s great to hear that you’re using a work breakdown structure (WBS) to help organize your class requirements! Breaking down tasks into smaller, more manageable pieces is a key strategy for staying on track and ensuring that everything gets done in a timely manner.

It’s also interesting to note that WBS can be used in many different contexts beyond just academic coursework. As you mentioned, Baum & Benjamin (2017) highlighted the importance of using a WBS during remodeling projects to keep things on schedule and prevent miscommunications.

When developing a WBS, it’s important to keep in mind that there’s no one “right” way to do it. Some people prefer to break things down by week, as you’ve done, while others may choose to organize tasks by phase or by deliverable. Ultimately, the goal is to create a clear, logical framework that helps you and your team stay focused and on track.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to create an effective WBS, there are many resources available online that can help. The Project Management Institute (PMI) is a good place to start, as they offer a wealth of information on project management tools and techniques, including WBS.
