Code of Accounts

A hierarchical coding system that assigns a unique identifier to every element in the WBS, enabling clear reference, tracking, and control.

Key Points

  • Provides a unique, structured code for each WBS component.
  • Reflects the WBS hierarchy so a code shows where the element sits in the structure.
  • Supports traceability across scope, schedule, cost, and reporting systems.
  • Often alphanumeric and can be integrated with cost accounts and control processes.

Example

A project uses codes like 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.1 to identify WBS elements. For instance, 2.3.1 might represent "Mobile App UI - Design," ensuring everyone references the same component consistently in schedules, estimates, and status reports.
