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
✓
Schedule milestones
The WBS dictionary provides detailed information about each WBS component. Key components include a description of the work package (C), the responsible organization or person (E), and associated schedule milestones (A). Option B is incorrect because the project charter is a separate high-level document authorizing the project, not a component of the WBS dictionary. Option D is incorrect because network diagrams are used for activity sequencing, not typically included in the WBS dictionary.
