7. OPSM 639, C. Akkan7 Level of WBS depends on complexity of the project. In this project there are 2 levels. Code Structure, changes made below settings can be followed by this preview. Generally, for complex projects with many levels, letters are used for upper levels of the WBS hierarchy. It is very important that you set the WBS structure correctly in the beginning : Once you set the it, it it would be difficult to change it. Clearly defined WBS means that the project is already solved in the mind. Defining WBS Code Structure
