AWS design work breakdown structure

About this template

Cloud-based applications are one of the most complex projects to pull off. It often includes design, documentation, communications, coding, etc.

Work breakdown structures are a staple tool used by many project managers. It allows teams to break down the scope of projects into manageable bits. Often, you’ll see it in a hierarchical form where the smaller tasks or goals are listed down in the lowest levels.

For example, this Amazon Web Design (or “AWS”) work breakdown showcases different parts of the project. There’s a column for design, documentation, web application, database, and infrastructure. You can also see the connected tasks, such as “UI Designs” and “Web Design” under the “Design” column.

You can see how the diagram delineates specific tasks and deliverables.

It’s great to use the primary columns as a marker for teams working on lower-level tasks. This way, your team members can easily find what they need to do and when they need to do it. You can also take advantage of lines to show the dependencies of each task.

Ultimately, this template is a helpful tool for progressing with your cloud-based applications.
