What is a WBS?
A WBS divides the total scope of a project into smaller, manageable pieces, so each can be estimated, assigned and tracked.
GuideCritical path method
The critical path is the longest chain of dependent tasks. It sets the shortest possible project duration.
GuideDependency types
A dependency says how one task's timing relates to another's. There are four types, and lag or lead fine-tunes them.
