Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 165

A project team working on an automobile manufacturing project is detailing the parts needed for a car door design. The door is composed of several parts that have to be developed in sequence, as the frame is needed before other parts can be designed and built.

What activity is the team involved in?

Answer options

• A. Developing a stakeholder engagement plan
• B. Developing a communications management plan
• C. Creating a work breakdown structure (WBS)
• D. Identifying risks and issues in the project

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, refers to the creation of a work breakdown structure (WBS), which helps in organizing and defining the total scope of the project by breaking it down into manageable parts. Options A and B involve planning aspects that are not focused on the sequential breakdown of tasks, and D deals with identifying potential problems rather than structuring the work required.
