A project manager is decomposing the project scope into smaller components. The lowest level of the WBS that can be estimated and assigned is called a:
- AMilestone
- BControl account
- CWork package✓
- DActivity list
Answer: A work package is the lowest level of the WBS at which cost and duration can be estimated and managed. It is the foundation for scheduling and assigning work.
Activity B cannot start until Activity A finishes, and two extra days must pass before B can begin. This relationship is a:
- AStart-to-Start with a lag of two days
- BFinish-to-Finish with a lag of two days
- CFinish-to-Start with a lag of two days✓
- DFinish-to-Start with a lead of two days
Answer: A Finish-to-Start dependency with a lag inserts a mandatory waiting period after the predecessor finishes before the successor starts. A lead would accelerate the successor, the opposite of this case.
