If you want to create or process a project, you can use structure planning in addition to the work breakdown structure and the network. In structure planning, you can create WBS elements and activities together and maintain the data for them. You can use structure planning particularly when you have a more precise idea of the structure of the project - for example which WBS elements are detailed by activities.

This chapter demonstrates the scope of planning according to structure in the Project System. You will find further details for the individual functions in the respective chapters.
