Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 398

Ben is the program manager for his organization. He's working with program team to determine what activities need to be completed in order to move the program into execution. He and the team are subdividing the program scope into smaller, manageable components to determine the activity list. What is Ben and his program team creating by subdividing the program scope in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Work breakdown structure
• B. Program network diagram
• C. Program scope baseline
• D. Activity list

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Work breakdown structure, as it involves breaking down the program scope into smaller components to facilitate task management. The other options are incorrect because a Program network diagram outlines dependencies between tasks, a Program scope baseline establishes the approved scope, and an Activity list is the result of the Work breakdown structure rather than an output of the subdivision process.
