Question:
If you were a project manager in charge of employees affected by the situation provided, what approach might you use to discuss the issue with upper management?
Work breakdown structures (WBS) have been used by organizations for some time. Consider the case of a large computer manufacturer (hereafter known as “the Company”). In the mid-1980s, because of several factors, including changes in upper management, the Company began using WBSs to streamline its various projects. On the surface, this seemed like an excellent idea because projects now had specific deliverables that were sufficiently decomposed to be manageable by one person or a small group of people.
This ideally allowed managers to concentrate less on micromanaging every task. All the advantages of using WBS that we have presented were realized, but problems arose as well.
