P3, 3.1

Dear Zameer

You need to define a good WBS.

Click on TOOL

Then WBS

Then STRUCTURE

say a code like AXYZ...BXYZ and so on. Where X, Y and Z could be digits. You can have different lengths for differrent levels. "A" would be your Level 1, X is Level 2 and so on.

Now its time to write down your activities with their WBS codes.

First, you need to add a column for WBS as P3 does not have this coloumn in default layout.

To add WBS coloumn, go to FORMAT then COLOUMN and add WBS coloum by clicking the + sign. Click OK when done.

Now you type activities with their WBSs. After you Finish listing down the activities, click on FORMAT...ORGANISE...Select WBS and click ORGANISE NOW and you will have your intended results.



I hope this will help you.



PS: I suppose Zameer is a fresh starter on P3, so I tried to list down everything more descriptive.

Zameer,



Work with WBS. It is very simple and structured.



Data/WBS



Define a structure. You just need to do it once. For your purpose a three level structure will work. Define any symbol like - to appear in between the levels.



Once you have the structure, just create the WBS codes and give the name you want.



Once WBS dictionary has been defined, click "Organize" (Format/Oganize) and choose Organize by Work Breakdown.



Good luck.

Thanks Mr. Ashraf for your reply. Actually I want to break down a group of activities into further groups. I have a big group of activities say its heading is "ENGINE",. Under this engine I need to assign five subheadings such as A,B,C,D,E and each one of these headings will have three activities under. Now I want that these three activities come under same phase number.



Please let me know step by step that how to give headings and how to keep same phase number of each subheading as A,B,C,D,E,F.



In other words it should look like this



ENGINE

A-

A1

A2

A3

I hope I could explain to you.



Regards



B-

B1

B2

B3



C-

C1

C2

C3



D

D1

D2

D3



E

E1

E2

E3



Here A1,A2,A3 and B1,B2,B3 and c1,c2,c3 and D1,D2,D3 AND E1,E2,E3 should have same phase as of A,B,C,D and E.
