It's amazing how often project managers start the project planning process by making a list of all the tasks they think will be needed to complete a project, then proclaiming that they've created the breakdown structure. (WBS) for the project.The result is a list of hundreds or even thousands of tasks, many of which have a duration of a few days or a few hours.
Essentially what they did was create a 'to do' list, which they then use as a 'checklist' to measure progress.This approach leads to, and even encourages, the micromanagement of resources working on the project without considering the more critical aspects of project management such as: requirements management, risk management, procurement management, estimating , planning, execution and control.Moreover, it is impossible to see the big picture, at detailed levels, in line with the needs of sponsors, customers, project and functional managers, team leaders and project implementers.
