A WBS dictionary is a complement to your WBS that conveys detailed info about each component. It’s one of the three pillars that support the scope management in your project: the other two are a work breakdown structure (WBS) and a project scope statement.

I've given the same advice to almost all of my clients -- "you need a clearer product backlog", "you're working really hard but you're not getting anything done", and "you need to cut scope, launch your product with a more focused scope, launch it, and then get feedback." . It's always seemed so simple to me: "Just do X, Y, and Z and everything's going to be perfect.
