Zovo WBS Chart

Work breakdown structure charts from an outline.

Zovo WBS Chart turns an outline of project work into a work breakdown structure chart. Write one item per line and indent each level, or start each line with a code such as 1.2.3. Add hours, cost and an owner to any item. The chart gets codes in outline order, or keeps your codes and lists gaps, duplicates and missing parents. Hours and cost add up from the work packages to each parent and the project total with no rounding. When you give a value on a parent that differs from the sum of its children, both numbers are reported and your value stays in the CSV. The PDF is Letter, A4 or Tabloid, top-down or left-right (by default the one that needs fewer pages), with text of at least 7 pt. Wide or long charts go on to more pages, cut only between boxes, with a page list of all items. You also get an SVG and a CSV with code, name, level, parent, owner, given and rolled-up values.

What it does

Indented outlines (2 spaces, 4 spaces or a tab per level) or numbered lines such as 1.2.3 Name
Codes assigned in outline order, or your codes checked for gaps, duplicates and missing parents
Hours and cost rolled up with no rounding; a parent value that differs from its children is reported
Top-down or left-right chart; a geometry check counts overlapping boxes on the final drawing
PDF (Letter, A4 or Tabloid) with text of at least 7 pt, plus SVG and CSV
A check tool that reports codes, totals and problems without drawing

Try asking

“Make a WBS chart: Website\n Design | hours=40\n Build | hours=80”

“Check the codes and cost roll-up of this numbered WBS”

“Draw my project outline as a left-right WBS on A4”

Limitations

Up to 400 items, 8 levels, names of 120 characters and owners of 60 characters
One style per outline: indentation or codes on each line; a mixed outline is refused with the line number
Numbers use a dot for decimals with at most 2 decimals; one currency symbol per chart
It does not schedule work, add dates or check resource load
The PDF font covers Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Vietnamese; Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew and emoji show as ? in the PDF (the SVG and CSV keep them)
Files of large charts are kept for 1 hour so the download links work, then deleted; download the files to keep them
