Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and WBS Dictionary from project charter deliverables. Covers hierarchical decomposition, WBS coding, effort estimation, dependency identification, and critical path candidates. Use after a project charter is approved, when planning a classic or waterfall project with defined deliverables, breaking a large initiative into manageable work packages, or establishing a basis for effort estimation and resource planning.

Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and WBS Dictionary from project
charter deliverables. Covers hierarchical decomposition, WBS coding,
effort estimation, dependency identification, and critical path candidates.
Use after a project charter is approved, when planning a classic or waterfall
project with defined deliverables, breaking a large initiative into manageable
work packages, or establishing a basis for effort estimation and resource
planning.

# 造工分構
分案範為可估、賦、追之層工包集。WBS 為力估、資謀、程發之基。
## 用
- 案憲承後、範定
- 謀含定交之典/瀑案
- 分大舉為可理工包
- 立力估與資謀之基
- 建諸需工之共識
## 入
- **必**:承案憲(特範與交節)
- **必**:案法(典/瀑、或含 WBS 謀之合)
- **可**:類案歷力
- **可**:團組與可技
- **可**:組 WBS 模或準
## 行
### 一:自憲取交
讀案憲。列諸交與受準。組為 3-7 頂類(此為 WBS Level 1)。
**得:** Level 1 WBS 元列合憲交。
**敗:** 憲泛→返 `draft-project-charter` 精範。
### 二:分為工包
各 Level 1 元分為子元(Level 2、Level 3)。施 100% 規:子元須代父範 100%。止分時工包須:
- 可估(可賦人日力)
- 可賦(一人或團有)
- 可度(明畢/未畢準)
建 WBS 綱:
```markdown
# Work Breakdown Structure: [Project Name]
## Document ID: WBS-[PROJECT]-[YYYY]-[NNN]
### WBS Hierarchy
1. [Level 1: Deliverable Category A]
1.1 [Level 2: Sub-deliverable]
1.1.1 [Level 3: Work Package]
1.1.2 [Level 3: Work Package]
1.2 [Level 2: Sub-deliverable]
2. [Level 1: Deliverable Category B]
2.1 [Level 2: Sub-deliverable]
3. [Level 1: Project Management]
3.1 Planning
3.2 Monitoring & Control
3.3 Closure
```
施 WBS 碼(1.1.1 式)。保 3-5 層內。恆含「Project Management」枝。
**得:** 含 15-50 工包之全 WBS、各含獨 WBS 碼。
**敗:** 分過 5 層→範過大、考分子案。
### 三:書 WBS 典
各工包(葉)書典項:
```markdown
# WBS Dictionary: [Project Name]
## Document ID: WBS-DICT-[PROJECT]-[YYYY]-[NNN]
### WBS 1.1.1: [Work Package Name]
- **Description**: What this work package produces
- **Acceptance Criteria**: How to verify it's done
- **Responsible**: Person or role
- **Estimated Effort**: [T-shirt size or person-days]
- **Dependencies**: WBS codes this depends on
- **Assumptions**: Key assumptions for this work package
### WBS 1.1.2: [Work Package Name]
...
```
**得:** 每葉工包含典項。
**敗:** 缺典項示分不全→返步二。
### 四:估力
各工包施一估法:
- **T-shirt**(XS/S/M/L/XL)早期謀
- **人日**細謀
- **三點估**(樂/常/悲)高不確工
建結表:
```markdown
## Effort Summary
| WBS Code | Work Package | Estimate | Method | Confidence |
|----------|-------------|----------|--------|------------|
| 1.1.1 | [Name] | 5 pd | person-days | High |
| 1.1.2 | [Name] | M | t-shirt | Medium |
```
總力 = 諸工包和。
**得:** 每工包含力估與言信。
**敗:** 低信 >30% 包→排 SMEs 精會。
### 五:識依與關鍵路候
映工包間依:
```markdown
## Dependencies
| WBS Code | Depends On | Type | Notes |
|----------|-----------|------|-------|
| 1.2.1 | 1.1.1 | Finish-to-Start | Output of 1.1.1 is input to 1.2.1 |
| 2.1.1 | 1.1.2 | Finish-to-Start | |
```
識最長依鏈——此為關鍵路候。
**得:** 依表至少含 finish-to-start 關。
**敗:** 依成環→分誤、返步二。
### 六:評與立基
合 WBS 與典為終檔。驗每層 100% 規。得相關人籤。
**得:** WBS.md 與 WBS-DICTIONARY.md 檔建且評。
**敗:** 相關人識缺範→加工包重估。
## 驗
- [ ] WBS 檔建含檔 ID 與 WBS 碼
- [ ] 100% 規滿:子全代每層父範
- [ ] 每葉含 WBS 典項
- [ ] 諸工包含力估
- [ ] 依已識、無環
- [ ] Project Management 枝含
- [ ] 關鍵路候識
- [ ] WBS 深不過 5 層
## 忌
- **混交與動**:WBS 元當為名(交)、非動。「User Authentication Module」非「Implement Authentication」
- **違 100% 規**:子不和為父範 100%→工漏
- **過淺或深**:2 層泛、6+ 層微理。目 3-5 層
- **略 PM 枝**:PM 工(謀、會、報)為實工耗力
- **分前估**:估工包、非類。Level 1 估不靠
- **無典**:WBS 無典為標樹——典予畢定
## 參
- `draft-project-charter` — 予 WBS 分之範與交
- `manage-backlog` — 化 WBS 工包為備項為追
- `generate-status-report` — 按 WBS % 畢報進
- `plan-sprint` — 合法→自 WBS 工包 sprint 謀
- `conduct-retrospective` — 評估準與分質
