During initiation of a multi-country product-launch program, work will span data analytics, brand redesign, compliance updates, and regional promotions, each with separate sponsors and shared resources. To capture the full scope, align deliverables to strategic objectives, and assign accountability across teams before detailed scheduling, which artifact should you produce?
A responsibility assignment matrix that maps available roles to tasks already identified by functional managers
A Kanban-style backlog that accepts tasks on demand and prioritizes them based on current constraints
An integrated master schedule that sequences every project activity and highlights the program's critical path
A hierarchical work breakdown structure decomposing program deliverables into work packages with unique codes
A deliverable-oriented work breakdown structure (WBS) hierarchically decomposes 100 percent of the program scope into progressively smaller work packages. This structure provides the foundation for assigning owners, estimating effort, and integrating budgets and schedules. Creating a responsibility matrix or integrated master schedule first assumes the tasks are already defined, while an emergent backlog risks missing critical scope and offers limited traceability to strategic objectives.
