ITPEC IP April 2025 Question 55
Which of the following is a method that organizes all of the activities to be performed in the project in a hierarchical structure?
Explanation
WBS — the Work Breakdown Structure lists all the project's work as a hierarchy down to manageable units.
In planning, the project's deliverables and work are broken down level by level until each lowest element, a work package, is small enough to estimate, assign, schedule and track. The WBS thereby defines the whole scope and the units the project manages.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) CRM — Customer Relationship Management: managing customer information and interactions to build long-term relationships
- •(b) ERP — Enterprise Resource Planning: managing a company's people, goods, money and information in one integrated system
- •(c) PPM — Product Portfolio Management: placing products or businesses on a matrix of market growth rate and market share to decide where to invest
Key rule: WBS is the scope tool of project management; CRM, ERP and PPM are business management techniques and systems.
