Work Breakdown Structure
I wanted to share with you one of the most important tools I use to help me accomplish my goals and avoid procrastination. It's called a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). If you have any formal background in project management, you know where I'm going.
What is a WBS?
There are a lot of pseudo official definitions for a WBS. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines it like this:
"The process of subdividing the major project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable components."
Here is a perfect example of a WBS. The items in red are actually the only tasks you need to complete. By completing them you complete the higher level milestones.
GOAL: Build a website.
These are the higher milestones that must be completed in order to consider the goal accomplished:
- Choose a domain name.
- Purchase a hosting plan.
- Design website.
- Create website content.
- Create website content.
- Create logo.
- Sketch/design draft logo.
- Hire graphic designer to finalize logo from draft design.
- Organize website content.
- Identify and name all content categories.
- Identify all static pages (contact, about, etc.)
- Design home page.
- Identify different sections of home page.
- Draft home page content (optional).
- Draft articles for launch.
- Identify 3 article topics and with titles.
- Write draft articles.
- Conduct on-page SEO for all launch articles.
- Identify keyword/keyword phrase.
- Calculate keyword density.
- Ensure use of keyword in title, alt tag, sub-heading and URL.
- Create logo.
- Planning a wedding or vacation.
- Planning a landscaping or in-home renovation.
- Drafting a business plan.
- Implementing a new technology/strategy across my website network.
I hope you add the WBS methodology to your internet marketing toolbox. You never know when it may come in handy!
