Task Work Breakdown Structures Guidelines

It is most efficient to begin with some knowledge of the task hierarchy in which you want to order the tasks. Consider the following guidelines when creating your tasks and shaping your task hierarchy:

• Name top-level tasks that will have subordinate tasks a name that implies a logical, organizational grouping.

  Example: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III.

• Use non-key and key tasks at any level of the task hierarchy.
• Create tasks before building a team and assigning staff to the project.
