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 deliverables, then Decompose deliverables into work packages, then Structure in a hierarchical form, then Assign WBS codes, then Verify completeness

The WBS is built by identifying deliverables, decomposing them, structuring hierarchically, coding elements, and verifying completeness.

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 deliverables, then Decompose deliverables into work packages, then Structure in a hierarchical form, then Assign WBS codes, then Verify completeness

    Why this is correct

    This is the correct order because the WBS process starts with identifying all deliverables, then breaking them down into smaller work packages, organizing them hierarchically, assigning codes for tracking, and finally verifying completeness to ensure all project work is covered.

  • ✗

    Structure in a hierarchical form, then Identify deliverables, then Decompose deliverables into work packages, then Assign WBS codes, then Verify completeness

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because structuring the hierarchy before identifying deliverables and decomposing them puts the cart before the horse; you need to know what the deliverables are before organizing them.

  • ✗

    Identify deliverables, then Assign WBS codes, then Decompose deliverables into work packages, then Structure in a hierarchical form, then Verify completeness

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because assigning WBS codes should occur after decomposition and structuring, not before; codes are used to label the work packages and levels in the hierarchy.

  • ✗

    Decompose deliverables into work packages, then Identify deliverables, then Structure in a hierarchical form, then Assign WBS codes, then Verify completeness

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because decomposition of deliverables cannot happen before the deliverables are identified; you must first know what the deliverables are before breaking them down.
