ITPEC IP October 2020 Question 57

Roles and responsibilities must be clarified before project members can be assigned appropriately. The manager can then match each required role with people who have suitable skills, authority, capacity, and accountability.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- the cost-estimation method determines how costs are forecast
- progress-reporting methods define communication and monitoring
- deliverable acceptance standards define quality and approval criteria
- none of these identifies what work and accountability each member must take

Key rule: Resource assignment starts from required roles and responsibilities, then matches personnel to them.
