Abstract
Disclosed herein is an improved software application that enables users to create and manage a customized WBS that can be applied to a specific project. For instance, in one aspect, the disclosed process may involve three primary phases: (1) a first phase that involves defining an organization-level WBS comprising a first set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes that serve as a starting point for the WBS codes to use for projects being handled by the organization, (2) a second phase that involves defining a project-level WBS comprising a second set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes to use for a particular project being handled by the organization, and (3) a third phase that involves using the defined project-level WBS to manage certain aspects of the particular project, such as budgeting for the particular project.
