How to make a WBS diagram
Gather information from stakeholders and team members
You'll need to understand key milestones, deadlines, and durations of tasks.
Select a template or start a blank diagram
Begin with your top level, i.e., the project name or final deliverable. On the level below, lay out the main project phases and deliverables. Below that come your work packages, i.e., tasks that make up those key deliverables. And finally, list out all activities and tasks needed to complete each work package.
Assess your diagram for opportunities and risks
Look for potential bottlenecks, delays, or strained resources. Make sure all dependent tasks are accounted for. Note these observations for when you create your project timeline.
Stylize shapes and lines
Customize your colors, text, and lines to make things easy to read.
Collaborate and share
Get feedback from others, make any necessary edits, and share with the right people once it's finalized.
Use our WBS templates to get started
Or create your own from scratch.
