The purpose of the WBS, as a project management tool, is to organize the scope of a project. WBS definition for programs and portfolios can use similar techniques to organize scope. There are many project management tools that use the WBS or its components as input:
Project Charter: The WBS takes the project charter as its starting point. The highest level element in the WBS should represent the project’s overall end-point product(s), service(s), or outcomes as described in the project charter. If the project’s major products cannot be described during the creation of the WBS, then the project management team should examine the charter to determine if it has been sufficiently defined.
