As a project manager in the planning phase, you need to maintain a prioritized list of work items that can be updated as requirements change throughout the project. Which tool should you use to achieve this?
A backlog is a prioritized list of work items that need to be completed during a project. It allows for continuous updating and reprioritization as new information emerges and requirements evolve. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the project scope but does not inherently support ongoing reprioritization. A Gantt chart visually represents the project schedule and timelines but doesn't help with prioritizing or updating tasks based on changing requirements. A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) assigns tasks to team members but does not function as a prioritized and flexible list of work items.
