How to Use the Work Breakdown Structure Templates in Creately

  • Choose a template that suits your needs

    Pick a WBS template that fits your project, such as a deliverable-based, phase-based, or software development WBS. Click 'Edit This Template' to open it and start breaking down your project.

  • Sign in or create a free Creately account

    Create a free account or sign in to open the template in the editor. This lets you save your WBS, return to it later, and keep every change synced to your workspace.

  • Open the template and customize it

    Replace the placeholder content with your own project scope and break it down level by level.

  • Collaborate with your team

    Give others view or edit access, gather inline comments, and resolve them without leaving the canvas. This works well for project managers, team leads, and stakeholders agreeing on scope together.

  • Export, share, or present

    Export your WBS as PDF, PNG, JPEG, or SVG, present it live, or embed or link it in your project plans and reports.
