The work breakdown structure is the engine of the project because it demonstrates how the goals are going to be acheived (McLaughlin & Olson, 2017). It compartmentalizes work to bite size chunks. Small tasks can be worked individually, while larger tasks are split to smaller sub-tasks. Important tasks are considered milestones. A few considerations for analyzing the organziation structure is to evaluate the parent culture, subcultures, department level, and outside sources like vendors and suppliers (Gray & Larson, 2018). All of these areas influence the scope and pace of the project. A project manager needs to be able to operate within each of these cultures, some of which may be political environments. A good example of WBS is Riverview Clinic team, which did the pharmacogenomic drug project (McLaughlin & Olson, 2017). The project was split to 3 parts, with two sub-tasks each. This project was split to management and administration, systems, and training. These areas included stakeholders ranging from doctors, nurse supervisors, IT, and billing managers to create a diverse team. The project was outlined on a hierarchical chart to create the WBS. From there, an accountability chart (RACIS) was developed to show how each team member would contribute to the project. (McLaughlin & Olson, 2017). Regards, Brian McLaughlin, D. & Olson, J. (2017).
