Defining the common work breakdown structure

The common work breakdown structure (WBS) is a template that you can use for generating a WBS for a specific program. When you define the common WBS, you create a library of work breakdown structures representing all categories of products and programs relevant to the organization. In this common WBS, you set filters on WBS elements to mark them for specific categories. You can then configure it for a particular set of filters to generate a WBS for a specific program. You create the common WBS for your organization using Product Configurator.
