Add a PBS

Video

Add a PBS to define the structure to be used to organize scope items.

The PBS structure is pre-populated with one node called Default PBS. Default PBS can be used in projects that do not use a formal PBS or can be renamed. Default PBS can be deleted once another PBS node exists. One PBS node must always exist.

To add a PBS:

1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project, select View Projects List, and then select a project name.
2. From the  Main Menu, select  Scope, and then select PBS.
3. Select  Add.
4. In the new row, complete the following fields:
   • Name: The name of the PBS.
   • Code: The parent PBS code will be the prefix for additional child PBSs.
5. Continue to add PBS elements. To configure the PBS items in a hierarchy, use the  Context menu to move elements right or left to illustrate the hierarchical structure.
6. Select Save.

Tips

• A PBS node cannot be deleted when a scope item is assigned to it or any of its child nodes and the project baseline has been set.
• The Default PBS can only be deleted if another PBS exists.
