Work Breakdown Structure

what happens if it's really hard to break down a task to just a few days - research for project may take weeks to do

RE: Work Breakdown Structure

Hi Janet

Thank you for your question

It is usually possible to break tasks down into sub tasks of no more than a few days; for instance research could be broken down into a series of subtasks such as "Online research", "Library Visit", "Interviews", etc. By doing so you make the overall task "research" more structured and precise.

Regards

Stephen
