WBS helps in defining scope by outlining specific project tasks

[{"selector":"#anim-56f5cbc6-ebd3-46f5-8c36-39dc08fbf58c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b0798061-0d31-4a01-a8c0-26ea74b455d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 196.63534%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The purpose of WBS is to reduce complex processes to a collection of tasks

[{"selector":"#anim-bd810fda-eb31-4a48-b566-77b48b6eb05a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f5a7bf2-2278-4961-a635-d74673d49986","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 197.35820%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It can be used to display and allocate responsibilities and accountability
