The essential idea is to identify each of the tasks that have to be completed to complete the project. The time and resources allocated to each task need to be determined, and scheduled. [In NASA parlence, this task list and schedule is known as a **work break down structure (WBS)**. Other organizations use other terms.] The team must them manage (control and track) their time and work to ensure all the tasks are accomplished within the resources and schedule required.+In order for a team to successfully complete a complicated project, the team has to manage their time and resources.

 For electrical projects, good wiring can make the difference between success and failure. Good wiring practices not only facilitate proper connections and troubleshooting, they also increase the likelihood of the project working long-term. Do not create wire nests, instead, use these [[Wiring Tips]] for good wiring practices. For electrical projects, good wiring can make the difference between success and failure.
