Understanding of project planning and link between WBS and project network

objectives are achieved. It clarifies things that what to do and when. Moreover, it contains list of
tasks that are to be done to complete project.
It is analysed that WBS and project network are linked to each other. this is because WBS
shows break down of project in hierarchical way. furthermore, WBS is developed from project
network. also, work package from WBS is used to design activity in project network. so,
integration of these both enable in managing project (Glenn and Rose, 2019). However, network
use time estimate that is found work package of WBS. But in this time, budget and resources are
set without dates in WBS. Thus, dates are set after developing network.
