Exam PMP topic 1 question 674 discussion

doing - i am doing decomposition of work (OK) Doing- i am doing WBS, (WBS is result not a process)

work packages is part WBS. Here process is called decomposition.

Creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) involves breaking down the project work into smaller, more manageable pieces, typically represented as work packages. This helps in organizing and understanding the project scope, which is a fundamental step in project planning and management. Decomposition (option C) is a broader term and can involve breaking down work into smaller components. In this context, creating a WBS is a specific type of decomposition.

The project manager is subdividing the project work packages, which means they are breaking down the project scope and deliverables into smaller, more manageable components. This process is known as "decomposition." When used in the context of creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), decomposition refers to the act of breaking down the project scope into the hierarchical structure of the WBS, where each level represents an increasing level of detail. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Decomposition.

He is using the decompaction technique to create the WBS so the answer has to be B because they are asking what he is doing.

C. Decomposition

Decomposition project management is a process of breaking a large, complex project into smaller, more manageable parts. This technique can be used to decompose a project into smaller tasks or to decompose a large product into smaller component parts

C. the situation is in the process of create WBS, the tools to devide and subdividing the Project scope into smaller part is decomposition

my answer is D, subdive the Work package means break down each of the work packages in into individual activities, After that the team created the activity list in the process of define activity, the next process should be sequencing the activities and the output is Project schedule network Diagram

Decomposition as defined in PMBOK (5th Edition) is a tool and technique used to divide and subdivide the project scope and deliverable into more smaller, manageable work packages. Once the scope is decomposed, it’ll be the lowest level of WBS which can be estimated and managed in terms of cost and schedule. The size of the work package after decomposition will depend on the complexity and size of the project. At the time of decomposing, activities such as assigning identification codes to each work package will take place.

The project manager is working on developing a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is a hierarchical decomposition of the project work into smaller and more manageable work packages. So, the correct answer is B.

WBS: A WBS is a hierarchical breakdown of project deliverables and work packages. It is used to organize and define the scope of a project. It is created by breaking down the project deliverables into smaller and more manageable components. The WBS provides a framework for the project schedule and budget. It is typically presented in a chart format.

keyword here is subdivide also The lowest Levels of each Leg and Branch of the WBS are called Work Packages.
