The main objectives of the WBS are to split the project into manageable units, define basic dates, and determine its costs.

The WBS divides the project step-by-step into structure elements. The elements are called work breakdown structure elements (WBS elements) in the Project System.

You can structure the WBS from various viewpoints:

• By phase (logic or process oriented)
• By function (function-oriented)
• By object (object-oriented)
