Hi Yasmine,
I could start to insert activities ..(using INS key) with attributes that you need....

MS Project offer some templates (that could help you to see how to structure it). Moreover you could search on google some samples...only to see. Then you'll have to create yourself the WBS specific for your project.

Bye,

Hi Jasmine, There are a number of "WBS How To Articles" that you can find here on gantthead by searching gantthead content using a term or phrase like "how to create a wbs" or just "wbs." You might have a look at Geoof Choo's article, "Break It Down." Also found on Google is a good Introduction to the WBS. Good luck. ~ Mark

The wbs-tool.net looks great!

I played with another WBS plugin from QuantumPM.
It integrates directly with MS Project and has a structured approach to WBS development.
