Title: Phase-Based Work Breakdown Structure for Project A (Strategic Product
Launch)
Caption: This WBS decomposes Project A into five distinct phases, prioritizing the
high-risk "New Component Integration" and strict "Quality Control" mandates
required by the strategic nature of the launch. It serves as the scope baseline,
explicitly encompassing all approved deliverables while excluding the "Out of
Scope" features previously rejected by the team.
