ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 56
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 56 of 100
A WBS decomposes project deliverables and required work into manageable components, providing a basis for effort estimates. At the lowest useful level, work packages can be estimated for duration, person-days, cost, resources, responsibility, and scheduling. Together, the components represent the full approved project scope.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) work outside the project scope should not be included in the WBS
- (c) decomposition depth depends on the project and need for effective planning and control, so it need not be identical everywhere
- (d) all in-scope work must be represented even when similar tasks are performed by the same member
Key rule: The WBS follows the 100 percent rule: it includes all work required for the approved scope and excludes work outside that scope.
