Note !

The WBS is not the project plan, theschedule, or even the activity list. You

will use the WBS to help you schedule

and assign resources. A WBS is aprocess, as well as a visual

representation of the work, to help you

organize and plan the action that mustbe completed for the project to come

to an end.
