Question #: 23
Topic #: 1

Gina is the project manager for her organization and she is working with her project team to define the project activities. In this project, the stakeholders are sensitive to the project completion date, so Gina is stressing to her project team members that while they need to provide and account for all of the project activities, they should focus on one work package in the WBS at a time. In order to start the decomposition of the project work packages into activities, Gina will need all of the following except for which one?

A. Scope baseline
B. Organizational process assets
C. WBS
D. Enterprise environmental factors

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
According to the PMBOK, Gina will not need the WBS directly, but will rely on the scope baseline. A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in project management is a tool that defines a project and groups the project's discrete work elements in a way that helps organize and define the total work scope of the project. A WBS element may be a product, data, a service, or any combination. WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along with providing guidance for schedule development and control.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The scope baseline is an input to define the project activities.
B: Organizational process assets are an input to define the project activities.
D: Enterprise environmental factors are an input to define the project activities.

Scope baseline shouldn't come after the time schedule and time schedule comes after WBS? As I understand the WBS is one of the primary task and then you can plan all the activities
