5.4 Create WBS
Process Definition
Work Breakdown Structure breaks down each defined requirement into the smallest possible components in logically sequenced, scheduled, estimated, monitored, and controlled to ensure conformance to the defined project scope.
Process Assessment
WBS creation makes it possible to decompose each requirement into bite-size milestones. It is imperative to have short milestones. This has the positive benefit of showing progress and accomplishment of the requirements to stakeholders and sponsors and makes it easier to monitor and control work deliverables.

5.4.1
Input
The scope statement input acts upon the decomposition of each work breakdown structure and defines the limits or constraints or assumptions of each work packet as outlined in the scope statement.
5.4.2
Tools and Techniques
This document is a summary of all the processes associated with project management in WBS outline form with technical summary descriptions of each process. This technique organizes the WBS within its project group as demonstrated in PGMT 612.
5.4.3
Output
This WBS dictionary is developed in the bicycle project PGMT 614, the output generated from the inputs broken down into small bite size that has three tier levels of decomposition. It makes it easy to cost, schedule, and track each work packet.
