In a situation where countless number of factors can influence the flow of your project it is important to take all necessary measures to make sure that it will stay on time within budget and designated quality.
One of the things that can improve the work and reduce the project failure risk is to structure the work thoroughly to an activity level. Why? Mostly because if you define all the important elements, you don't leave anything to the case.
Otherwise, most projects that are not broken into smaller, more manageable units face a situation where:
• The project will last 50% longer than it should
• The project manager will be unable to make clear assignments to the team
• The team will waste hours in status meetings
• The project will finish late which may require weeks of rework.
We have taken this into consideration in the last iteration and decided to make WBS!
So, as of January 15th you can create subtasks up to 9 levels (same as in MS® Project).
We would like to know what you think!
Have a wonderful weekend.
