For firms with multiple organizations or companies, WBS in Deltek Vantagepoint opens up a level of financial visibility that flat project structures simply can't provide.

When labor cross-charges and inter-company billing are hourly, WBS owned by an org enables fee-based revenue reporting at the org level — a capability that matters a lot for multi-entity firms trying to get an accurate picture of profitability by division.

In this final session of The Campfire Sessions, Jenny Labranche, Matt McCauley, Lisa Ahearn and Cassandra Keeter walk through a few examples: a single-company project with WBS structured by org and a cross-company project with WBS structured by company. The session will include an honest look at when this approach is the right fit — and when it isn't. 

You'll see how to:

• Understand how organizations (orgs) interact with WBS in Vantagepoint

• Use WBS by org to enable fee-based revenue reporting when labor billing is hourly

• Set up a single-company project with WBS structured by org

• Configure a cross-company project with WBS structured by company

• Evaluate whether this approach is the right fit for your firm's structure

If your firm has ever struggled to see profitability clearly across divisions, or if you're managing projects that span multiple companies, this session is for you. Recordings from Sessions 1 and 2 will be available if you want to catch up beforehand.
