  • Publication number: 20250139546
    Abstract: Improved software technology and techniques for enabling creation and management of a customized work breakdown structure (“WBS”) for a specific project may comprise various phases. For instance, a first phase may involve defining an organization-level WBS comprising a first set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes that serve as a starting point for the WBS codes to use for projects being handled by the organization, a second phase may involve defining a project-level WBS comprising a second set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes to use for a particular project being handled by the organization, and a third phase may involve using the defined project-level WBS to manage certain aspects of the particular project. Further, access to customize WBS variables may be regulated based on user access permissions information indicated by an organization and/or project-level WBS.

  • Patent number: 11681961
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved software application that enables users to create and manage a customized WBS that can be applied to a specific project. For instance, in one aspect, the disclosed process may involve three primary phases: (1) a first phase that involves defining an organization-level WBS comprising a first set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes that serve as a starting point for the WBS codes to use for projects being handled by the organization, (2) a second phase that involves defining a project-level WBS comprising a second set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes to use for a particular project being handled by the organization, and (3) a third phase that involves using the defined project-level WBS to manage certain aspects of the particular project, such as budgeting for the particular project.
