Which of the following are the benefits of a work breakdown structure (WBS)? (Select TWO).
A.
It determines the project milestones.
B.
It determines the project budget.
C.
It determines the resources required to complete project tasks.
D.

Admin: Please Fix. The correct answers are B & C
#1 – WBS forces the team to create detailed steps
The WBS forces the project manager, team members, and customers to delineate the steps required to build and deliver the product or service. The exercise alone encourages a dialogue that will help clarify ambiguities, bring out assumptions, narrow the scope of the project, and raise critical issues early on.
#2 – WBS lays the groundwork for schedule and budget
It lays the groundwork for developing an effective schedule and good budget plans. A well-defined WBS enables resources to be allocated to specific tasks, helps in generating a meaningful schedule, and makes calculating a reliable budget easier.
#3 – WBS creates accountability
The level of detail in a WBS makes it easier to hold people accountable for completing their tasks. With a defined WBS, people cannot hide under the “cover of broadness.” A well-defined task can be assigned to a specific individual, who is then responsible for its completion.
#4 – WBS creation breeds commitment
The process of developing and completing a WBS breeds excitement and commitment. Although the project manager will often develop the high-level WBS, he will seek the participation of his core team to flesh out the extreme detail of the WBS. This participation will spark involvement in the project.
