I know that PMBOK describes one, which is tend to be classical and typical, but pretty often it adds unnecessary compexity. How often do you really need anything else but 1. Design, 2. Build, 3. Test and 4. Deploy ? (There is no Requirements here, because it should be a part of Scope phase, which prefaces Planning phase, so we already have the requirements). Thanks!</p> <p>P.S. Don't forget to mention your project management methodology, otherwise, I may think that you're talking about classical linear waterfall; and a lot of WBS sucks on it due to inconsistency. </p> (read more)
