CAPM Practice Question

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team. It breaks down the project into smaller, more manageable components, ensuring that all necessary work is identified and organized. This helps in planning, executing, and controlling the project effectively. The WBS focuses on deliverables and project scope rather than on scheduling, resource allocation, or progress monitoring.

The other options refer to aspects like detailed scheduling, resource allocation, and monitoring progress, which are important but not the primary purpose of the WBS. The WBS serves as a foundation for these activities but is primarily concerned with defining and organizing the project scope.
