A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a cornerstone of effective project planning, providing a manageable breakdown of project scope. Extending the WBS into a project network (a visual representation of a project’s tasks, activities, and dependencies) provides a clearer view of the project timeline and critical task dependencies.
In this session, you will learn the mechanics of network diagrams, including techniques for estimating task durations and identifying relationships between tasks. This visual representation will help you sequence tasks chronologically and provide a roadmap for tracking your project’s progress, ensuring timely completion.
This session builds on concepts from the fall 2024 In Scope session on Work Breakdown Structures. However, participation in that session is not a prerequisite for joining this one.
Presented by Dr. Ardala Katzfuss, Faculty in the School of Pharmacy, Applied Drug Development
This free event is part of the Office of Strategic Consulting’s “In-Scope: Managing Projects at UW Madison” series. In Scope is a mini-curriculum and conversation workshop series designed for managers of small- to medium-sized projects. In this series, project management experts address managing projects in the university environment, introduce project management methods and resources, and facilitate conversations around common problems and solutions.
