Some examples of generating useful project management diagrams.

WBS

Example of developing the WBS

WBS Code	Task	Description
1	Initiation	Project goals, charter, etc.
1.1	Define project goals	Establish objectives
1.2	Identify stakeholders	List and contact key parties
2	Planning	Timeline, scope, resources
2.1	Scope definition	Deliverables and boundaries
3	Execution	Task execution and coordination
4	Monitoring & Control	Status tracking, risk response
5	Closure	Wrap-up and reporting
