The Master Deliverables List (MDL) marks the first time that WSDOT has had a comprehensive listing of project elements that is agreed to by all regions – quite an accomplishment! This list is intended as a starting point for the creation of work breakdown structures (WBS) for projects. It was developed by the Steering Team and reviewed by all regions, Urban Corridors and Headquarters groups.
The MDL is organized in project phases and listed down to the deliverables level. There are 10 levels available within PS8, and the team’s intention is to have consistently applied task names to the deliverables level (usually level 3 or 4) while leaving the remainder for flexible use by project managers and teams. Users of the system will have the ability to add tasks at levels 5 – 10. The only caveat is that all tasks must roll up into the higher-level categories.
The use of this list will simplify the development of WBS for project managers and teams. Because categories and deliverables are consistently named across the state, WSDOT will also be able to track and monitor project delivery more easily. This will increase our ability to be accountable to the public.
