Abstract

The WBS and the WBS dictionary form the baseline of the project's scope and have a hierarchical structure that represents the work to be carried out on the deliverables or tangible results, each of these can be assigned to a specific worker; likewise, it is the input for the development of the schedule. WBS in software projects have clearly demonstrated that this technique can be applied efficiently benefiting project management. As a result of the research, the EDT model is proposed for the Scrum, XP, Scrum / XP, Crystal and Kanban software development methodologies as a tool for IT project managers.
