I prefer not to constrain the WBS by trying to make it fit a product(prince 2) approach or process based approach. Just ask what needs to be done and build the WBS from there. T Morphy MS Project tips http://www.stakeholdermap.com/ms-project/ms-project.html

Save a baseline of the project. Then add actual start and actual finish dates to the task table. Finally add an indicator for the current date to the gantt view. Now MS Project will show the slippage against the baseline. Hope that helps. T Morphy MS Project tips...
