It is very critical to separate the cost and the task breakdown structures. Companies that seek to run projects and manage finances and operations under a single hierarchical structure are setting themselves up for failure. A single hierarchy is inadequate for operational planning and has granular levels that are too many and fine-grained for budget, estimates, cost collecting, and variation control. Because of this, corporations tend to compromise on both the features and performance, which results in compromised performance.
