• Why bother creating a WBS? Why not go straight to a project network and forget the WBS?

A WBS lets you break down every major project task you must complete. You may break some of these tasks down more. However, a project network lets you know what needs to be completed before going to the next task. For example, you must complete A and B before going to C. Where in the WBS there may be multiple tasks going on at the same time. The project manager can assign different people to different tasks.

• How does the WBS differ from the project network?

WBS breaks down the tasks that need to be done. You will have multiple tasks for a project. Where a project network puts those tasks in order on how you need to complete them. For example, you must complete A and B before going to C.

• How are WBS and project networks linked?

WBS and project networks can be linked. After you create the WBS you can use the project networks to decide on which order you need to complete these tasks. You get to decide which tasks need to be completed before you can go to the next task.
