Which of the following techniques is used to perform progressive elaboration planning where the
work to be accomplished in the near future is planned in detail at a low level of the work
breakdown structure?

A.
Imminent activity management

B.
Predecessor-only diagramming

C.
Rolling wave planning

D.
Decomposition

Explanation:
Rolling wave planning is a technique to plan and do the most imminent project work before moving
onto the details that are far off in the project schedule and project plan. Rolling wave planning is a
technique for performing progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in
the near future is planned in detail at a low level of the work breakdown structure. The work to be
performed within another one or two reporting periods in the near future is planned in detail as
work is being completed during the current period.

Answer options B and A are incorrect. These are not valid project management terms.
Answer option D is incorrect. Decomposition is the process of breaking down work packages into
the activity list.
