10. Start with Bike = 100 units
The figure shows a WBS construction technique that demonstrates the 100% Rule and the "progressive elaboration" technique.
Level 1 shows 100 units of work as the total scope of a project to design and build a custom bicycle.

14. Progressive Elaboration
At Level 2 the 100 units are divided into 7 elements.
The number of units allocated to each element of work can be based on effort or cost;
It is not an estimate of task duration.

15. Progressive Elaboration
The three largest elements of Level 2 are further subdivided at Level 3. The two largest elements at Level 3 each represent only 17% of the total scope of the project. These larger elements could be further subdivided using the progressive elaboration technique described above.

19. Tasks represented by an arrow ().
PERT-Elements (tasks)
Tasks represented by an arrow ().
A code and a duration are assigned to each task. However, the length of the arrow is independent of the duration.
The PERT method is a technique that allows you to manage the scheduling of a project. The PERT method consists of graphically representing a network of tasks, which, when placed in a chain, can lead to the achievement of the objectives of a project.
It was designed by the US navy to allow for coordination of the work of several thousand persons to build missiles with POLARIS nuclear warheads.
The PERT method includes the following at the preliminary stage:
Precise breakdown of the project into tasks;
Estimation of the duration of each task;
The appointment of a project manager in charge of assuring monitoring of the project, reporting, if necessary, and making decisions in the event of deviations from projections.

20. Stage i.e. the beginning and end of a task.
PERT-Elements (stages, milestones)
Stage i.e. the beginning and end of a task.
Each task has a start and end stage. (With the exception of the initial and final stages, each end stage is the beginning stage of the next task.)
The stages are generally numbered and (normally) represented by a
