During initial planning for a predictive project, the project manager wants to ensure the full scope is captured before estimating time and cost. Which technique provides the most reliable way to identify and hierarchically organize all deliverables and related work?
Breaking down deliverables into smaller components until they are manageable.
Focusing on product deliverables and omitting management activities.
Organizing tasks according to the company's departmental structure.
Arranging tasks in chronological order based on the project schedule.
Breaking down deliverables into smaller, manageable components ensures that all aspects of the project scope are captured. This technique, known as decomposition, results in a comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) that facilitates effective planning and control. Organizing tasks by departmental structure may miss deliverables that do not align neatly with specific departments. Arranging tasks in chronological order focuses on scheduling rather than defining the full scope of work. Focusing on product deliverables and omitting management activities can lead to an incomplete understanding of the project's scope, as management activities are essential for successful project execution.
