top down approach

-most common -starts with the largest items of the project and break them into subordinate items

decomposition

-subdividing project deliverables into smaller pieces -main tool or techinique for WBS

-planning scope management -collecting requirements -defining scope -creating WBS -validating scope -controlling scope
