Scope definition
Build a clear picture of the work
Start with the project, identify its deliverables, then break those down into manageable work packages.
Start shaping the scope
Add the project deliverables, then break the larger ones into components or manageable work packages. There is no schedule here, only the work to be included.
Scope notes
Capture the conditions around the work
Add short statements to support the scope discussion. Link each item to the parts of the WBS it affects.
Workshop and review
Prepare a presentation view
Choose what to include. The print preview uses A3 pages and splits larger content across pages to keep it readable.

About this file
WBS Scope Studio
A local tool for describing project scope and preparing it for discussion.
Work breakdown and scope, in one place
Designed for people who lead or contribute to project work.
Create a readable WBS, capture assumptions, constraints and dependencies, then prepare an A3 review copy. The app keeps a working copy in this browser and runs from a single HTML file.
- Use a blank project or one of 16 editable IT and related project templates.
- Edit a graphic hierarchy or a structured outline. Reorder items by dragging them in the outline.
- Save a portable project JSON file and export formats for Jira, Microsoft Project and Confluence.
- Generate high-resolution SVG and PNG diagrams and an editable PowerPoint made of native shapes and connectors.
- Choose A3 portrait or landscape. Large presentations split across pages to retain readable text.
This app stores working data in this browser only. Download a project JSON file to carry it to another browser or device. Jira and Confluence exports are files or copy-ready content for you to import or paste.
File and contact
The app is self-contained. It uses no remote code, fonts, services or assets. Open the downloaded HTML file in a current desktop browser to work offline.

PowerPoint exports use editable text, shapes and connectors. PowerPoint SmartArt is not generated. Microsoft Project XML contains the WBS hierarchy and leaves schedule fields empty. Imported Jira fields may need mapping in Jira’s CSV import screen.
Before closing, export a project JSON file if you need a copy outside this browser. Browser autosave remains on this device and browser profile.
