Exam PMP topic 1 question 287 discussion

D is correct

D is the correct answer

WBS focuses on "Deliverables"

Customer requirements and expectations form the scope baseline ( scope statement +WBS+ WBS Dictionary- Detailed description of each WBS element) WBS is delivered oriented but does not form the bases of scope management by the PM

Create WBS is a process of breaking down the deliverables into smaller and manageable components. It should be a WBS-oriented process.

The project manager should organize the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as D. Deliverable oriented. A deliverable-oriented WBS organizes and defines the total scope of the project, and represents the work specified in the currently approved project scope statement. Each descending level in the WBS represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work. This approach helps ensure that no deliverables are missed and that all work performed is aligned with the project’s objectives. However, the project manager should also consider the specific circumstances and dynamics of the project and the team when deciding on the best way to organize the WBS

D is essential, without D, A would not work.

option D

pmi say it is deliverable orientedPMI. https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/applying-work-breakdown-structure-project-lifecycle-6979 A WBS, as defined in the PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition is “a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. It organizes and defines the total scope of the project. Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work. The WBS is decomposed into work packages. The deliverable orientation of the hierarchy includes both internal and external deliverables.”

Customer is the first

D. Deliverable oriented The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. The primary purpose of a WBS is to organize and define the total scope of the project in terms of deliverables, so it is deliverable-oriented.

D deliverable oriented

While other orientations (customer-oriented, team-oriented, cost-oriented) can have their merits, a deliverable-oriented WBS is a common and effective approach for breaking down the project's work into manageable components that directly align with the project's goals and final outcomes.

D. Deliverable oriented

The Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines the Work Breakdown Structure as a “deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team.” https://www.workbreakdownstructure.com/#:~:text=The%20Project%20Management%20Institute%20(PMI,executed%20by%20the%20project%20team.”

I selected D. After checking, both forbes.com and wikipedia say a WBS is deliverable-oriented. Forbes.com quoted PMBOK 3rd edition.

I think customer orientation is right. Even if the deliverable is complete, the quality the customer wants is more important.
