Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 351

When developing the project schedule, a project manager uses decomposition and rolling wave planning techniques in this process:

Answer options

• A. Develop Schedule
• B. Define Activities
• C. Define Scope
• D. Collect Requirements

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as defining activities involves breaking down the work into smaller components, which is where decomposition is applied. While 'Develop Schedule' and 'Define Scope' are important, they do not specifically focus on the detailed activity breakdown. 'Collect Requirements' is about gathering stakeholder expectations, not scheduling.
