Gantt charts visually represent project schedules, displaying tasks along a timeline, which enhances the basic work breakdown structure (WBS) by showing task durations and dependencies. Unlike network diagrams that depict relationships and sequences of tasks, Gantt charts emphasize when tasks occur and how they overlap. For example, in a software development project, a Gantt chart might illustrate the timeline for phases like design, coding, and testing, while a network diagram could show how coding cannot start until design is complete. This allows project managers to quickly assess progress and resource allocation.
In a work breakdown structure, detailed cost estimates and resource assignments are not required.

Cost Breakdown Structure is the breakdown of a project into cost elements. This breakdown is typically in line with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS); indicating "where" cost are allocated. The breakdown can sometimes be in line with the company's Chart of Accounts, indicating "what" the costs are for. In theory, cost could be in line with "who" is spending the cost, "when" costs are being spent, etc.
Usually the Project Manager with the help of his Leads is involved in the creation of the Work Breakdown Structure.
