How to Create New Tasks from the WBS Mind Map

Introduction

Easy8’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) allows you to create new tasks directly within the visual map. You can add child, sibling, or parent tasks without leaving the WBS interface. This helps you build and manage the project structure quickly and visually.

Target Audience

  • User

Prerequisites

  • WBS module enabled on the project
  • Permission to add and edit tasks

Steps

1. Open the WBS Module

  • Navigate to the desired project
  • Click on the WBS tab in the project menu

2. Use Right-Click to Add a Task

  • Right-click on an existing task (issue) in the WBS map
  • A context menu will appear

3. Choose the Task Type to Add

In the menu, select one of the following options:

  • Add child – creates a subtask under the selected task
  • Add sibling – creates a task at the same level as the selected one
  • Add parent – adds a new parent task above the selected one

After selecting the type, a new task node appears and you can fill in its details immediately.

Summary

Creating tasks from the WBS mind map is fast and intuitive. With just a right-click, you can add tasks exactly where you need them in the project hierarchy—helping you structure your project visually and efficiently.
