wbs dictionary definition
Figure 1 â Work Breakdown Structure. The WBS Dictionary, in addition to expanding on the simple one line description of the WBS elements, connects the WBS to the Statement of Work (SOW). The WBS dictionary is usually a spreadsheet that lists the WBS, the WBS element name, a description of the work in that element at a minimum. In addition, the good dictionary will have a field that designates which SOW paragraph is covered by that WBS element.
