Explanation & Answer

Greendale Stadium Case Part A: Project Schedule Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) A work breakdown structure is a model used to develop down stages that a complex project should take to ensure smooth flow of activities and to be done within a set period. The stages are developed for a multi-step project that can bring confusion as the work progresses. The efficiency and speed of doing things are facilitated by the set breakdown in the work structure that allows the workers to determine the activities to be done at different stages in a systematic manner (Meredith). The work breakdown helps in avoiding confusion while a project is set up. The work breakdown structure (WBS) below is for the Greendale Stadium project.
