Create Work Breakdown Structure
Skill Verified ActiveCreate a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and WBS Dictionary from project charter deliverables. Covers hierarchical decomposition, WBS coding, effort estimation, dependency identification, and critical path candidates. Use after a project charter is approved, when planning a classic or waterfall project with defined deliverables, breaking a large initiative into manageable work packages, or establishing a basis for effort estimation and resource planning.
To provide a structured and repeatable process for breaking down project deliverables into manageable work packages, forming the foundation for effective project planning, estimation, and resource allocation.
Features
- Hierarchical decomposition of project scope
- Generation of WBS codes and outline
- Creation of a detailed WBS Dictionary
- Effort estimation guidance (t-shirt sizing, person-days)
- Identification of work package dependencies and critical path candidates
Use Cases
- After a project charter is approved, to decompose defined deliverables into manageable work packages.
- When planning classic or waterfall projects that require a structured approach to scope breakdown.
- To establish a clear basis for effort estimation, resource planning, and schedule development.
- To create a shared understanding of all required work among project stakeholders.
Non-Goals
- Creating the initial project charter.
- Managing the execution of individual work packages (that is the role of backlog management or sprint planning skills).
- Performing detailed schedule network analysis beyond critical path identification.
- Estimating costs; it focuses on effort estimation.

Plan Sprint
99Plan a sprint by refining backlog items, defining a sprint goal, calculating team capacity, selecting items, and decomposing them into tasks. Produces a SPRINT-PLAN.md with goal, selected items, task breakdown, and capacity allocation. Use when starting a new sprint in a Scrum or agile project, re-planning after significant scope change, transitioning from ad-hoc work to structured sprint cadence, or after backlog grooming when items are ready for inclusion.
Plan Garden Calendar
100Plan garden activities using solar, lunar, and biodynamic calendars. Covers USDA hardiness zones, frost date calculation, equinox/solstice anchoring, synodic lunar cycle (waxing/waning), ascending/descending moon, Maria Thun biodynamic calendar (root/leaf/flower/fruit days), succession planting schedules, and seasonal task planning. Use when planning a new growing season and needing a planting schedule, integrating lunar or biodynamic timing into garden practice, calculating frost dates and planting windows for a specific zone, setting up succession planting for continuous harvest, or conducting end-of-season review.
