Thumbs up Answer: Is there a basic template for a WBS - Work Breakdown Structure?

Yes, there are many basic templates available for a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in Microsoft Excel. Here are the steps to find and use a WBS template:
  1. Open Microsoft Excel and click on "File" in the top left corner.
  2. Click on "New" to open the "New Workbook" window.
  3. In the search bar, type "WBS" and press enter.
  4. A list of WBS templates will appear. Choose the one that best fits your needs.
  5. Once you have selected a template, click on it to open it in Excel.
  6. The WBS template will have pre-populated columns and rows for you to fill in with your project information.
  7. Begin by entering the project name and description in the appropriate cells.
  8. Next, start breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable tasks. Enter these tasks in the "Task Name" column.
  9. Assign each task a unique identifier in the "Task ID" column.
  10. Determine the duration of each task and enter it in the "Duration" column.
  11. Assign a responsible party for each task in the "Assigned To" column.
  12. Continue breaking down the project into smaller tasks until you have a comprehensive list of all the work that needs to be done.
  13. Use the WBS template to help you manage your project and keep track of progress.

Remember, the WBS is a living document that should be updated regularly throughout the project. Use the template as a starting point and customize it to fit your specific project needs. Good luck with your assignment!

You mean the assignment is to build a WBS template, right?

In that case, you should probably start here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_breakdown_structure and design a workbook
to suit.

Or, if you need to cheat, see here
