Exam PMP topic 1 question 380 discussion

Gonna go with B, the answer given makes it seem like there's no product owner and that the PM is running the show. B seems more realistic.

B is not correct, as it's a iterative approach, and the answer B is describing a predictive approach.

This is A. B is Not AGILE

B. Work with the team to decompose the scope into a WBS and work packages in order to create required deliverables and timelines. The scope statement is the output of Define Scope and the next iteration is Create WBS.

The correct option is A- ( This is an iterative approach- WBS is not used in this approach, we use user stories and backlogs)

After the scope statement, it will be WBS

Since the scope is available, decomposing the scope by working along with the team is the best way to help them understand their work.

B. Work with the team to decompose the scope into a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and work packages in order to create required deliverables and timelines. Creating a WBS involves breaking down the project scope into smaller, manageable components called work packages. This process helps in defining the specific tasks and deliverables required for the project. It provides a clear structure and hierarchy for the project's work, making it easier for the team to understand their responsibilities and the sequencing of tasks.

If you check PMBOK. You collect requirements first. How the hell will you know what to put in the WBS if you dont know requirements?

PMBOK page 133. It's A. Thank you.

We had scope statement, now we need to plan for requirement gathering

Requirements Management plan is already in place before defining scope statement. Next step is creating WBS

B. Work with the team to decompose the scope into a WBS and work packages in order to create required deliverables and timelines Because as per process defined in PMBOK 6 ,after defining scope(As question stated scope statement is clear and approved by all stakeholders), a WBS to be created which means breaking down the scope and requirements into smaller work packages and subsequently defining activities and schedule and cost.

The correct answer is A. Since it is an iteration not predictive approach that has been agreed on, doing WBS wastes time and effort. It's better plan outlines for collect and anlyzes the requirement and then prioritise them. On the the other hand WBS is done once in context of predictive approach, which is not logical for the mentined scinario.

B. Work with the team to decompose the scope into a WBS and work packages in order to create required deliverables and timelines

A. Create the requirements management plan to outline how project requirements will be collected, analyzed, and documented, and then assign requirements to team members

Answer A isn't correct because "The scope statement is in place" which comes after the requirements management plan.
