Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
The activity attributes initially include the Activity ID, WBS ID, and the Activity Name, but it can evolve over time to include other components about the work.
Activity attributes are an output of the Define Activity process. These attributes refer to the multiple components that frame up an activity. The components for each activity during the early stages of the project are the Activity ID, WBS ID, and Activity name. At the later stages, the activity attributes include Activity codes,
Predecessor activity, activity description, logical relationship, successor activity, leads and lags, imposed dates, and constraints and assumptions. Activity attributes are used for schedule development and for ordering, selecting, and sorting the planned schedule activities in a number of ways within reports.
Incorrect Answers:
B: A project management plan is a formal document that defines how the project is being monitored, controlled, and executed. It is not the best answer.
C: The Schedule Management Plan defines how the schedule will be created, executed, and controlled.
D: The roles and responsibilities matrix records the work and the person to record the work, but does not offer additional information such as locale for the work, level of effort, and other information.
