Rita's Book Question

Submitted by ahujar on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 02:47

Q. The WBS and WBS dictionary are completed. The Project team has begun working on identifying risks. The Sponsor contacts the project manager, requesting that the responsibility assignment matrix be issued. The project has a budget of US $100,000 and is taking place in three countries using 14 human resources. There is little risk expected for the project and the project manager has managed many projects similar to this one. What is the next thing to do?


A. Understand the experience of the sponsor on similar projects.


B. Create an activity list


C. Make sure the project scope is defined.


D. Complete risk management and issue the responsibility assignment matrix.


I checked off answer D thinking that we have already created the activity list that's the reason we have the budget, HR etc. but turns out that the correct answer is B. Not sure why? Can someone please explain.


Thanks

The key work here is " completed " whats next thing to do. The team has compleated WBS so the next activity should be Activity List so B is correct.

The next thing in the squence is to complete Activity list. Refer to rita's process chart. Hence its the correct answer.


Option D is slightly confusing, you cannot issue Responsibility assignment matrix directly ... It has to go through the sequence hence B is the correct answer.
