The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for The World Urban Forum WUF12 "2024" is structured hierarchically to break down the project into manageable tasks and deliverables. This approach aligns with key project management theory, specifically the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) guide, which emphasizes the importance of breaking down a project into smaller components to facilitate planning, scheduling, and control (PMI, 2017).
By including tasks such as project initiation, event planning, marketing and promotion, speaker management, logistics coordination, technology integration, risk management, sponsorship management, volunteer coordination, and evaluation, this WBS covers essential aspects of responsible project management in a global event context. Tasks are correctly positioned within the WBS to ensure a systematic approach to organizing and executing the event, reflecting best practices in project management (Schwalbe, 2020).
