==Flexible Work Breakdown Structure - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028991 titled 'Flexible Work Breakdown Structure

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of this patent application describes improved software technology and techniques for creating and managing a customized work breakdown structure (WBS) for a specific project. The process involves several phases:

* Phase 1: Defining an organization-level WBS with customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes that serve as a starting point for projects handled by the organization.
* Phase 2: Defining a project-level WBS with a second set of customized, multi-dimensional WBS codes specific to a particular project.
* Phase 3: Using the defined project-level WBS to manage certain aspects of the specific project.

The access to customize WBS variables can be regulated based on user access permissions indicated by the organization and/or project-level WBS.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Project management software: This technology can be used in software applications designed for project management, enabling users to create and manage customized WBS structures for their projects.
* Construction industry: The technology can be applied in construction projects to organize and track various tasks, resources, and deliverables.
* Software development: It can be utilized in software development projects to break down the work into manageable components and track progress.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Lack of customization: Traditional WBS structures may not provide the flexibility to tailor the breakdown to specific project requirements. This technology allows for customization at both the organization and project levels.
* Inefficient project management: Without a well-defined and customized WBS, project management can become disorganized and difficult to track. This technology provides a systematic approach to managing projects.
* Limited access control: The technology addresses the need for regulating access to customize WBS variables, ensuring that only authorized users can make changes.

Benefits of this technology:

* Customization: Users can create WBS structures that align with their specific project needs, improving project organization and efficiency.
* Enhanced project management: The technology provides a systematic framework for managing projects, allowing for better tracking of tasks, resources, and progress.
* Access control: By regulating access to customize WBS variables, the technology ensures data integrity and prevents unauthorized changes.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

improved software technology and techniques for enabling creation and management of a customized work breakdown structure (“wbs”) for a specific project may comprise various phases. for instance, a first phase may involve defining an organization-level wbs comprising a first set of customized, multi-dimensional wbs codes that serve as a starting point for the wbs codes to use for projects being handled by the organization, a second phase may involve defining a project-level wbs comprising a second set of customized, multi-dimensional wbs codes to use for a particular project being handled by the organization, and a third phase may involve using the defined project-level wbs to manage certain aspects of the particular project. further, access to customize wbs variables may be regulated based on user access permissions information indicated by an organization and/or project-level wbs.
