The objective is usually defined in terms of scope, schedule and cost.
Example Objective

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The second step is to determine what activities need to be performed.
A list of all the activities must be developed.
The WBS is a hierarchical tree of end items to be plished.
A work item is one small piece of the project.
A work package is the lowest-level item.
