Abstract

See full text

A process and system is disclosed to assist work planners by assembling a work breakdown structure (WBS) and work flow for a project based on the explicit selection or deselection of outcome(s) by a work planner from a defined set of possible outcomes. The process and system ensure that the resulting project WBS and work flow is composed of the minimum set of activities required to produce the set of outcomes desired for the project. The process and system further ensure that the project's activities are organized into an activity hierarchy defined by a WBS template designated by the work planner, and that each of the project's activities is linked into an appropriate work flow, supported by appropriate instructional or descriptive content.
