What is a WBS element in SAP PS?

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element in SAP PS is a hierarchical representation of the tasks and activities that make up a project. It serves as a way to organize and structure the project's deliverables and define the scope of work.

How is it used in project planning and tracking?

In project planning, WBS elements help break down the project into manageable components, making it easier to assign resources, estimate costs, and schedule activities. They provide a clear structure for organizing and tracking the progress of the project.

During project tracking, WBS elements act as reference points for monitoring and controlling the project's activities. By tracking progress at the WBS element level, project managers can identify variances, address issues, and ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget.
