You are the project manager for your organization. You have worked with the project team to
create the project scope statement. The key stakeholders have signed off on the project scope
and they are eager for you and the project team to begin creating the deliverables identified within

the project scope. What process must you and the project team complete next in this scenario?

A.
Create the activity list.

B.
Create the WBS.

C.
Create the risk assessment.

D.
Determine the project budget.

Explanation:
Once the project scope statement has been approved, the project manager and the project team
should decompose the project scope statement into the WBS.
Answer option A is incorrect. Before the activity list may be created, the WBS is needed. The
activity list is based on the work packages identified in the WBS.
Answer option C is incorrect. Creating the risk assessment for the project is part of project
planning, but it is not the most appropriate process to complete at this time.
Answer option D is incorrect. Determining the project budget is the process of aggregating the
estimated costs of individual activities or work packages to establish an authorized cost baseline.
Determining the project budget is a part of project cost management.
