Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 12

During what project management process does the project manager invest the most effort into creating the work breakdown structure (WBS)?

Answer options

• A. Initiating
• B. Planning
• C. Executing
• D. Monitoring and Controlling

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Planning phase is where the project manager focuses heavily on defining and organizing the project's tasks through the work breakdown structure (WBS). Initiating, Executing, and Monitoring and Controlling phases do involve project management activities, but they do not emphasize the creation of the WBS as much as the Planning phase does.
