A. The WBS breaks the project deliverables down to a level where alternatives identification can be used to determine how level two assignments should be made.
B. The WBS breaks the project deliverables down to a level where project constraints and assumptions can be easily identified.
C. The WBS breaks the project deliverables down to the work package level where product analysis can be documented.
D. The WBS breaks the project deliverables down to the work package level where cost and time estimates can be and quality control measurements can be determined.
george (9¾months ago):
I think it's A, because:
A: "level-two assignments" means Activities, and this is true. WBS breaks down the scope to work packages, and the second step is to break down work packages to activities
B: project constraints and assumptions should be identified before WBS, not after
C: product analysis is done before WBS
D: cost and time estimates are produced for activities, not work packages
