Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 239

A project charter has been approved and the project manager has been assigned to the project. The project manager is currently working with the project team to subdivide the project work packages.

What is the project manager doing?

Answer options

• A. Resource leveling
• B. Work breakdown structure (WBS)
• C. Decomposition
• D. Network diagram

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The project manager is engaged in decomposition, which involves breaking down project work into smaller, manageable components. While a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is created during this process, the specific action being described is decomposition. Resource leveling and network diagrams are not related to the subdivision of work packages.
