Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 268

A project manager is developing the work breakdown structure (WBS) for a project. The team is asking at what level should they decompose their assigned work.

What should the project manager answer?

Answer options

• A. Activity level
• B. Deliverable level
• C. Work package level
• D. Task level

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the work package level is the appropriate depth for decomposition in a WBS, allowing for effective management and tracking of project components. Options A, B, and D do not provide the necessary granularity for effective project planning and control.
