CAPM Predictive Plan-Based Methodologies Practice Question

⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation

Activity list
The Define Activities process identifies and documents the specific actions required to produce the project deliverables. Its key outputs are the activity list, activity attributes, and the milestone list. Option C is correct because the activity list is a primary output that enumerates all scheduled activities. Option E is correct because the milestone list, which identifies significant events or decision points, is also a direct output of this process.
