A governance committee has just approved a new project. The project scheduler is now developing the project schedule. Which of the following activities should be done FIRST?
Developing the project schedule
Let’s look at the road so far. First, you created a task list and milestones by decomposing
the work packages in your WBS. Then, you sequenced activities based on dependencies
and relationships. After which, you estimated your resources and durations, taking into
consideration dates, and effort, lead, and lag time, along with those estimates for the
duration of the tasks. Now, we have a schedule. What we don’t have is a finish date, a total
duration, and the answer to the question of how long it will take. That brings us to schedule
creation. There are several techniques we will go through and I’m sure you have noticed
that time management takes a lot of time to review!
After breaking the project into its individual components and documenting them in
the WBS, the project manager can use the WBS to schedule all project activities.
Creating the schedule is probably one of the most time-consuming tasks for any
project because of the amount of coordination required in the process:
1. Determine the tasks.
2. Determine the project’s milestones.
3. Determine each task’s durations and start/finish dates.
4. Set predecessors and dependencies.
5. Sequence and prioritize the tasks.
6. Determine the critical path.
7. Allocate project resources to the individual tasks.
8. Set the schedule baseline.
9. Set the quality gates.
10. Set the governance gates.

While I agree the answer is C. i'm using a sybex book (study guide pk0-004 2nd Ed) that arranges this list differently.. for instance:
1. Determine the tasks.
2. Sequence
3. allocate the resources
4. Determine each task’s durations and start/finish dates.
5. Determine the project’s milestones.
6. construct the schedule
7. Determine the critical path.
8. set baseline & obtain approval
9. Set the quality gates
10. Set/establish the governance gates.
Which one should I follow?
