Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
A WBS hierarchically decomposes project scope into manageable deliverables or work packages.
Definition
In general ERP practice
A WBS hierarchically decomposes project scope into manageable deliverables or work packages. It describes the work to deliver, rather than only dates, people or a flat checklist.
In Odoo
Odoo Project tasks and sub-tasks are the closest standard representation for breaking down work. Parent-child tasks support assigned effort and progress tracking; a formal numbered WBS or a particular scope-control convention needs an explicit configuration.
Official Odoo documentation
The Odoo-specific explanation above is based on the documentation for Odoo 19. Features and workflows can differ in other versions.
