Level one tasks are refined and are\u00a0broken down\u00a0into smaller tasks called subtasks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">These new tasks are called level 2 subtasks. Level 2 tasks are also refined further and broken down into level 3 subtasks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">This process will continue until we reach a level where a subtask can&#8217;t be broken down any further. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Level 1 tasks are commonly called tasks or container tasks, and level 2 tasks, level 3 tasks and so on are called subtasks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">The idea behind WBS\u00a0is to continue breaking down tasks until they are small enough so that their implementation is\u00a0totally understood and could be estimated with a high degree of certainty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">This is called top-down approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/task-management-software\/\">task management<\/a> and its benefits are well documented in numerous <a href=\"http:\/\/c.ymcdn.com\/sites\/www.projectmanagement.org.za\/resource\/resmgr\/conference_proceedings_2002\/10.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research papers<\/a>.

The reader is encouraged to refer to the vast literature available online on this subject for further reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It reduces the possibility that important tasks are omitted in the project plan. The plan could be reviewed easily by others<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Helps to define project scope better than any other tool used in task management. In fact, there is no other tool that defines project scope the way WBS does.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Makes all tasks in the project small and better understood. It helps to figure out to estimate\u00a0each task better than any other task management process known today. It improves the accuracy of the project plan and schedule.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It helps to estimate project cost much more accurately due to the fact all components of the project are well understood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It helps to better understand milestones and which tasks need to be finished before the milestone is reached.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It reduces the confusion and misunderstanding about tasks and project scope and details. It clarifies project&#8217;s uncertainties and ambiguities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It helps to better \u00a0track and monitor \u00a0project and tasks progress during project life cycle<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Identifies assumptions both correct and wring in the project.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It helps to identify important problems at an early stage in the project&#8217;s lifecycle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It identifies risks in the project by pointing to tasks which are difficult or not well understood. During implementation, if a task fall behind its effects on other tasks and the whole project outcome are instantly known.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It makes the critical path in the project more accurate by making task estimation more accurate. The project manager using the critical path can better manage the project resources to make sure the task on critical path stays on schedule.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It makes collaborating on projects easier since all tasks and their relations to each other are well known and understood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It makes team members more confident since the details of the project and their own work is well understood by them and by the management.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It makes it easier to outsource portions of the project to outside companies\u00a0or independent contractors since the details of each component of the project are well understood<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It enforces accountability in the project. Since all details are established and known by the team, it makes it easier to hold people accountable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It helps to accurately budget a project for resources and time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Binfire is one of few task management applications on the market today which supports Work breakdown structure to sixth level (the maximum recommended by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pmi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMI<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Using Work breakdown structure, you can break down a large task into its smallest components, estimate the duration for each subtask\u00a0and use dependencies to make the tasks interrelated. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">When you set\u00a0task duration for subtasks, the application\u00a0automatically calculates the duration of the level one tasks containing all\u00a0subtasks in them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">This greatly simplifies managing tasks and subtasks and frees the user from calculating the total time it takes the tasks which have subtasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">For each task, you can set the start, duration, and due time. The application calculates the due date based on start date and duration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Notice, the due time, is the time you want a task to finish on the due date. For example, you want a task to finish on March first at 8:00 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Many industries rely on due time. Freelancer, contractors, and language translation companies come to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">A work not only needs to finish on a given date but also to a certain time in that day. Otherwise, it will be flagged as late.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Assume you your project is to translate a document and bring it to court on March 2nd at 8:00 Am. If you finish by 10:00 Am the document is worthless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">One of the most important benefits of WBS is that is makes tracking and monitoring of tasks much easier because each\u00a0task&#8217;s duration is relatively short. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">If a task falls behind, its effects on the rest of the system are shown immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">A great companion to WBS is the Gantt Chart since it shows all tasks and subtasks in a diagram arranged in time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">One of the\u00a0hardest things to do in task management is the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/the-best-way-to-estimate-tasks\/\">estimating tasks<\/a> duration with a high degree of accuracy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">We highly recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Three-point_estimation\">three-point task estimation<\/a>. This process helps to deliver the most accurate task estimation known in project management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Another benefit of work breakdown structure is that is works perfectly with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/project-managers-guide-interactive-gantt-charts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gantt chart<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">It creates a waterfall arrangement for tasks in time which makes the Gantt much more organized and easier to follow visually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/project-management-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Give Binfire a try<\/a>!
