  Work in project management is the amount of effort applied to produce a deliverable or to accomplish a task (a terminal element).
  Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a method and a kind of representation that defines a project and groups the project’s discrete work elements in a way that helps organize and define the total work scope of the project. A Work breakdown structure element may be a product, data, a service, or any combination. WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along with providing guidance for schedule development and control.
  Work package is a subset of a project that can be assigned to a specific party for execution. Because of the similarity, work packages are often misidentified as projects.
  Work stream is a set of associated activities, focused around a particular scope that follow a path from initiation to completion.
