Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 353

The project manager is dividing the project scope into smaller pieces, and repeating this process until no more subdivisions are required. At this point the project manager is able to estimate costs and activities for each element.
What are these elements called?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Work packages' because they represent the defined sections of work that can be assigned, estimated, and managed. 'Project activities' refer to tasks within those packages, 'Planning packages' are used for future work that hasn't been detailed yet, and 'Project deliverables' are the final outputs of the project rather than the components of work.
