Project managers and engineering leads
Kicking off a new software release cycle with multiple workstreams
Use cases
About
The DS Workbreakdown mind map template provides a structured breakdown of tasks for a telecom software project, covering 112 nodes across 10 top-level branches including Process, Releases, Marketing, and Customers. This template is used by project managers and engineering leads to track deliverables such as 'Performance Test' sub-nodes (CQM, Mediation, Aranstream) and release milestones like 'SMR2 (LTE)'. It also includes customer-specific items like 'VF NL CAT issues' and 'TMUS ETL Commitment', making it a comprehensive work breakdown structure (WBS) for complex product development. The template organizes work into clear categories: Process (testing and proactive services), Releases (version-specific tasks), and Customer commitments, enabling teams to monitor progress and identify gaps. With its detailed node hierarchy, the DS Workbreakdown template serves as a central planning tool for cross-functional teams.

How to use this template
Step 1
Access and Review Project Structure
Open the template in Xmind to explore the ten top-level branches and their associated sub-tasks for telecom software development.
Step 2
Customize Deliverables and Assign Ownership
Tailor the workstream nodes to your project needs and assign responsibilities by adding labels or notes to specific performance tests and release milestones.
Step 3
Track Commitments and Monitor Progress
Utilize the dedicated customer and process sections to manage open issues and update the status of deliverables as your project evolves.
Frequently asked questions
The template includes 112 nodes organized under 10 top-level branches: Process, Releases, Marketing, Product Support, Product Mgt, Demo System, Proposals/RFP, ER, CSAT, and Customers. It covers testing tasks, release milestones, customer issues, and proposals.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then expand each branch to assign owners and deadlines. For example, under 'Releases', you can add subtasks for each version like 'SMR2 (LTE)' and track progress by marking nodes as complete.
Yes, the template is fully editable in Xmind. You can add new nodes, change labels, and reorganize branches to fit your project's specific work breakdown structure.
While not specifically designed for sprints, you can adapt it by grouping tasks under 'Releases' or 'Process' and using priority markers. It works best as a high-level WBS rather than a sprint backlog.
The 'CSAT' branch tracks customer satisfaction issues and requests, such as 'VF NL CAT issues' (CR-5898 Alarm Priority) and 'O2 Proposal'. It helps teams manage customer-specific deliverables and support commitments.
