What is a project decomposition?

Project decomposition in project management is the process of breaking down a large, complex project into smaller, more manageable parts or tasks, often called deliverables and work packages. This technique helps make the project easier to plan, execute, and control by dividing it into components that can be independently managed and assigned to team members.

Key aspects of project decomposition are:

1. Breaking down deliverables
2. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
3. Dependencies and planning
