A project manager is leading a complex project and needs to organize the project scope into manageable sections to enhance planning, execution, and control. Which of the following should the project manager create?
The project manager should develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). A WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out, breaking the project into smaller components that are easier to manage. It helps in assigning responsibilities, estimating resources and durations, and monitoring and controlling the project. The other options are less suitable: a Project Schedule Network Diagram sequences activities but does not decompose scope; a Cost Breakdown Structure organizes costs but not project deliverables; a Requirements Traceability Matrix links requirements to deliverables but doesn't break down the project scope.
