Puropse of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
1. Paul Mali (Management by Objective, New York: John Wiley, 1972, p. 12) DEFINES mbo AS A FIVE-STEP PROCESS:
Finding the objective
Setting the objective
Validating the objective
Implementing the objective
Controlling and reporting status of the objective
How can the work breakdown structure be used to accomplish each of the above steps? Would you agree or disagree that the more levels the WBS contains, the greater the understanding and clarity of those steps necessary to complete the objective?
