Next-generation Breakdown Structures for Excel ®

Breakdown structures in Project Management are nothing new. In fact, a lot of folks probably think they are old - past tense - kaput. The best- known example is the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) which is probably seen as the zeitgeist of old-fashioned project management.
But the legacy perspective on breakdown structures is that they are static, stand-alone and bound up in methodology. This is wrong.We're building WbsWiz as an Addin for Microsoft Excel to help you use Breakdown Structures in ways that are dynamic, integrated and methodology-free.

Breakdown Structures are Mind-maps for your project!

The biggest single problem facing any type of project is developing - and keeping - cognitive alignment across multiple people and groups. Alignment is key: on the problem to be solved - on the solution - on the way to get there - on current progress and status - on everything!
Breakdown Structures are the information backbone around which cognitive alignment can flex.

Projects are Information Systems

No matter what tools you use, the core of any project is hard information. WbsWiz can help you capture, analyse and define that information and use it either directly or in other tools to leverage additional capabilities. As a project manager, you will deal with numerous linked tables, which is why we are building WbsWiz using the schema-based table management capabilities of TableWiz.

Projects are Breakdown Structures

Projects require not just any information, but multiple instances of hierarchical information called "breakdown structures". Spreadsheets have some capabilities in this area but many gaps, which is why we're building WbsWiz on top of the advanced outlining capabilities of TreeWiz.

WbsWiz - the ultimate Breakdown Structures tool for Excel Users

We're building the first cut of WbsWiz through collaborative engagement with early-adopter users. Initially, WbsWiz will be a bundle of TreeWiz, TableWiz, a set of purpose-designed TableWiz schemas, a set of Excel worksheet templates and concierge support from some of the best PM's in the business. We're seeking like-minded users who want to work on the earliest versions of WbsWiz.

WbsWiz is coming
