BUBBLEFORMAT

Bubble format:

Effective for supporting the brainstormingprocess

Not so good for displaying workbreakdown structures to audiences whoare not familiar with the project.

Use bubble format to develop the WBS,then turn it into Org-Chart or outline

format.

CYCLINGFORMAT

A cycling format is utilized on researchprojects that are performed in phases.

Although WBS elements are usually thought

of as representing unique, one time events,research projects present a differentapproach.

In this case, a cycling WBS is recommended

because as tasks are executed, newinformation may create need to repeat tasksat a new level of detail.
