Need to define a work breakdown structure or classification system for your BIM project?

In this video, see how Plannerly's flexible Scope tree helps you create a structured hierarchy of folders, groups, elements, and items so you can organize project requirements in a way that actually makes sense for your team. This is a practical workflow for BIM management, information management, and ISO 19650-aligned scope planning.

You'll learn how to import a classification structure from CSV, manage folders and elements, turn classification codes on or off, and assign tasks across milestones in a structured and reusable way.

In this video, you'll learn:
- How to define a work breakdown structure for BIM and project information
- How to build your scope tree manually, from templates, or by importing a CSV
- How to import folders, groups, elements, and items into the Scope module
- How classification codes can cascade through the hierarchy
- How to choose whether codes are concatenated or not
- How folders can have multiple nested levels
- How elements and items differ when working with geometry and task assignments
- How to assign tasks to specific milestones in the grid
- How classification systems help group work packages and project requirements
- How to reuse structured scope content across projects

This is especially useful for teams working with Uniformat, Uniclass, and other classification systems, or anyone trying to organize scope requirements, work packages, and deliverables in a more scalable way than Excel.

This video is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
- Project Managers
- Design teams
- Construction teams
- Anyone building structured project scope under ISO 19650

If you want a more flexible and reusable way to structure project requirements, this video shows how to create a BIM work breakdown structure that supports real project delivery.
