Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Identify major deliverables, then decompose deliverables into smaller components, then assign WBS codes, then verify correctness and completeness, then document details.
The WBS process starts with identifying major deliverables, decomposing them, assigning codes, verifying completeness, and documenting details.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Identify major deliverables, then decompose deliverables into smaller components, then assign WBS codes, then verify correctness and completeness, then document details.
Why this is correct
This is correct because the WBS process starts by identifying the top-level deliverables, then breaking them down, assigning codes for tracking, verifying that all work is covered, and finally documenting the details.
- ✗
Decompose deliverables into smaller components, then identify major deliverables, then assign WBS codes, then verify correctness and completeness, then document details.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because decomposition must follow identification of deliverables; you cannot decompose without knowing what the major deliverables are.
- ✗
Identify major deliverables, then assign WBS codes, then decompose deliverables into smaller components, then verify correctness and completeness, then document details.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because WBS codes should be assigned after decomposition, not before; codes are used to label the hierarchical components.
- ✗
Identify major deliverables, then decompose deliverables into smaller components, then verify correctness and completeness, then assign WBS codes, then document details.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because verification of completeness should occur after assigning codes, not before, as codes help in checking coverage.
