The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a powerful project management planning and controlling tool. It is the backbone to planning and managing scope on any project and - as you will hear in our interview - every ship repair project must have it.

In his many years of working in shipyard project management he realized that managing the scope is both central and vital and that the WBS is the tool to use.
