Question 11
You are the project manager for the RGR Project and you’ve worked with the project team to create the WBS. Many of the components of the WBS in your project are identical, such as the television screens that will be installed throughout the complex. You need a method to identify each component and work package to track the requirements through the project and to help with planning the project work. Which one of the following is the best answer for identifying and tracking these items throughout the project?
- A WBS
- B WBS dictionary
- C Requirements tracking matrix
- D Code of accounts
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The best answer is the code of accounts, which is a numbering system to identify each element of the WBS in a sequential pattern, such as 10.9.3 and then lower components could be numbered as 10.9.3.1, 10.9.3.2, and so on. The PMBOK Guide uses a numbering sequence like this to identify each heading in the guide. Note that the requirements tracking matrix is not a valid term, but a requirements traceability matrix is and would be a correct answer if that choice were present.Discussion
