WBS Dictionary

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Dictionary is a detailed document that accompanies a project's WBS. It provides descriptions, scope, and details for each task or component listed in the WBS, outlining what needs to be done, responsible parties, and specific criteria for completion. Think of it as an instruction manual that clarifies each part of the project, ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities and expectations. It helps improve communication, manage scope, and track progress effectively, serving as a reference guide throughout the project’s lifecycle.
