WBS Report Template
This WBS report template enables you to produce a detailed and thorough WBS report as part of the monitoring and management process for your project.
The work breakdown structure document is a critical document for your project and as such you will need to provide regular reports and communications to your project team, stakeholders and sponsors. These reports on how each work level and package is progressing in accordance with the project plan form a vital part of your project's monitoring and management.
The WBS report plays a key role in communicating the progress of your project to all interested parties and keeping these individuals and groups aware of the status of each aspect of your project. In this report each aspect is defined as each work package that has been created as part of your decomposition process during your initial project planning. It has a deliverable orientation because it focuses on the actual 'work levels or packages' that need to be produced and executed so that your project is successful.

The WBS report may be the first communication stakeholders, sponsors or end users receive that informs them certain areas (work packages) of the project are falling behind schedule. It is important at this stage that you manage their expectations effectively so that you retain their support. In order for you to retain and nurture such peoples' support your WBS report must give sufficient explanation of why a particular area or work package has fallen behind schedule or been completed earlier than expected.
Our free WBS dictionary template allows you to identify and define the complete requirements of your project, even down to the detail of each work package including its unique id, description, its level within the project and who 'owns' this package. The owner of a work package can be an individual or an organization.
