When you talked to your project sponsor about the issue, he told you that nobody in the company even knows what a Work Breakdown Structure is or what purpose it serves. He also told you that the company has executed numerous projects in the past without ever using a Work breakdown structure. However, he asked you to prepare one just in case it is really a necessary project tool. A) Using a hypothetical project in the mentioned company, prepare a Work Breakdown Structure for presentation to your sponsor..
