Very nice work. I have attached Excel comment form. My biggest comment is centered on the detail for the WBS descriptions. Otherwise I think this is very thorough. The samples are simple but I think we should caution that the actual WBS descriptions should be detailed. I think Lines 221-225 try to cover this, but I think it should be spelled out more clearly.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 and Tables 2, 3 and 4 - I understand that these are examples and for clarity may be less detailed, but I think it is important for the information from the upper levels of the WBS carry down to the lower levels. Commonly when users see WBS elements or bands they are separated by activities and sub levels may carry on for several pages or screens on a device. I think it is important to show detail in these tables where for example Table 4:
· Building 1
o Design-Building 1
§ Architectural Design - Building 1
· Arch. Masonry Design - Building 1
· Arch Window Design - Building 1
· Arch. Door Design - Building 1
§ Structural Steel Design – Building 1
§ Mechanical & Electrical Design – Building 1
· Building 2
o Construction – Building 2
§ Grading Construction – Building 2
§ Foundation Construction – Building 2
§ Floor 1 Construction – Building 2
· Steel Framing Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
o Steel Columns Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
o Steel Beams Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
o Steel Roof Truss Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
· Concrete Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
· Entries Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
· Windows Const. Floor 1 – Building 2
I am exaggerating for effect and acronyms or shortened descriptions can be used. My concern would be that readers of the RP would think is reasonable to have duplicate WBS descriptions which I think confuse the overall schedule document. Maybe clarify that these are simple examples and state separately that the WBS should be detailed sufficiently.
Thank you
