Resource-Loaded Work Breakdown Structure

This is the resource-loaded view of the program's Work Breakdown Structure: every work package carries its named effort and cost, and every hour traces to a named person on the Resource Plan. It is the artifact that connects the three baselines the Charter authorizes — scope, schedule and cost — into a single reconciled model.

1. How this WBS is loaded

Each work package names one accountable owner — a single point of accountability — plus any named contributors who do the work alongside them. That distinction matters: a WBS that lists three names against a package without saying who is answerable for it has recorded staffing, not accountability.

The loading is allocation-aware. Each person's hours come from their Resource Plan line, which already reflects whether they are full-time or part-time on this program — 10 of the 55 are part-time. Their hours are then distributed across the packages they work on in proportion to package duration, so a part-time analyst is never implicitly loaded as though they were full-time. This is the difference between a resource-loaded WBS and a resource-named one: naming a person against a task costs nothing, but loading them commits capacity that has to exist.

2. Effort & cost by phase

3. Reconciliation to the cost baseline

These are not stated totals — they are assertions the generator evaluates, and it refuses to emit this page if any of them fails. The labor baseline reconciled here is the same $7,369,050 that appears as the labor subtotal in the Charter's authorized budget.

4. Resource loading by person

Each person's committed hours, blended rate and resulting cost, with the number of work packages they are loaded against. Sorted by cost.

5. Loaded work packages

All 250 loaded work packages with their accountable owner, contributors, effort and cost. Summary rollup levels are not repeated here — effort is carried at the work-package level only, so nothing is double-counted upward.
