Relationships - Scope and Schedule Baselines

It may seem that I have been on my soap box lately regarding the WBS,and perhaps I have been, however... we still hear about TA and Projects in crisis. I am confident stating that we consistently focus on the Schedule Baseline and make the assumption that the Scope Baseline is mirrored. The scope baseline will consist of a WBS structure or hierarchy of major deliverables decomposed into smaller, more manageable components down to the Work Order level. The Work Orders then identify schedule activities, resources, duration and attributes neccessary for schedule development. Then once the scope has been established, the schedule developed and baselined we should be functionally ready for execution.
