057_List_Activities_vs_WBS

1. List Activities

   • Easy to overlook some deliverables
     • Can be cumbersome
       • Does not allow you to clearly break down a large project into small enough pieces
         • Is usually created by one person
           • A list often makes people wary of the project because they do not understand the project by looking at the list, nor do they know how it was created
             • A list is just a list

2. WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)

   • Is a required element in project management
     • Shows all the scope on the project, broken down into manageable deliverables
       • Provides a structured vision for the project
         • Helps to ensure that nothing slips through the cracks
           • You can easily break down the work into work packages
             • Shows how the work packages are derived
               • Is created with input from the team and stakeholders
                 • Is created with the help of the team
                   • The execution of the project is typically easier and less risky
                     • Helps people better understand the project
                       • Shows a complete hierarchy of the project, making it easier to see how one deliverable relates to another
