Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1389

A project manager is managing the scope of the project and creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) with the team members.
How should the project manager organize the WBS?

Answer options

• A. Customer oriented
• B. Team oriented
• C. Cost oriented
• D. Deliverable oriented

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The work breakdown structure (WBS) should be organized around deliverables to ensure that all project outcomes are clearly defined and understood. This approach helps in tracking progress and managing resources effectively. Organizing the WBS in a customer, team, or cost-oriented manner may not adequately capture the necessary deliverables and could lead to oversight in project management.
