In line with my previous post about supporting other project management trainers who do good work, I bring you Dick Billows.

This video on the Work Breakdown Structure shows that his approach is in line with my philosophy.  It is in line with the training I provide through WBS Coach and pmStudent e-Learning.  I haven’t experienced his training first-hand, but based on this video I can tell the information you would get from Dick is going to be quality.

So watch this short video from Dick and check out his links below the video if you are interested in training.  Regardless of whether you choose my training or Dick’s, or anyone else’s, be sure you are getting trained by someone who knows what they are talking about and presents the training to you in a way that works for you.

New project managers send me this question a lot, and I think some people struggle with this because they jump right to task definition with a leap directly over figuring out what to deliver first.

When you start a new project and need to break down the work into manageable pieces, how do you go about it and what are the things to watch out for?

In this video, I discuss the mindset I use when facilitating my teams through breaking down our work.  If you want to learn more about my Work Breakdown Structure course, you find out more here.

by Josh November 28, 2009 Career
