The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) gives a snapshot of the high level deliverables and how they are broken down into the lowest level work packages. The WBS can be described as a deliverable oriented hierarchy that defines all the work and only the work of the entire project. It also serves as the platform agreement from which the rest of the project planning will be based on (e.g. estimating costs, resources, timing, etc). Often it is documented as a diagram similar to the concept of a “family tree” diagram.

In its simplest form conflict is a disagreement typically stemming from a lack of communication or poor communication. It is a normal and healthy part of any relationship as no two people view the world in the same way. It should not be about right or wrong; but often it is. We make it about winning or losing. We see it as a threat and we respond to conflict based on our perception of the threat as we see it. It is not usually isolated to the present situation; it is a reflection of our past experiences with conflict and the results of that conflict. This workshop explores the “Why” of our personal reactions to conflict, how to stay in the present, take the personal out of the conflict and see the facts not the story. To feel secure in the knowledge the relationship can survive challenges and disagreements.
