The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. It organizes and defines the total scope of the project by subdividing the work into smaller, more manageable components. The product backlog, while also used to manage scope, is specific to agile methodologies and focuses on prioritizing user stories or requirements. Gantt charts and network diagrams are used for scheduling and depicting task dependencies, but not specifically for breaking down the project scope.
