Hi Project Managers!

Looking for a good software to build WBS graphics, or really any project management-based graphics software!

I've experimented with building them in PowerPoint, but I just think it gets clunky with larger projects with lots of deliverables and tiers.

What do you like to use?

Thank you! I've stumbled on this one but I wasn't sure if it was worth the money, it's pretty $$!

Visio is a lot better than PowerPoint for large tree structures. I use it for high level WBS decompositions (although for a large WBS, Excel is the tool of choice). I also use it heavily for network diagrams, or anywhere I want to draw a lot of boxes, connect them with lines, and have the lines adjust when I move the boxes around.

It has lots of built in templates that are handy as well. I designed my home office layout with one. Handy tool and not the cheapest but not the most expensive either.

You can use Visio, in the version Premium or Professional. It requires the additional installation of an add-in called WBS Modeler

Hello,
I used draw io.
it is free. and does the job with multiple templates. IMHO, definitely better than PowerPoint ;-)
