IFMA Exam CFM Topic 9 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for IFMA's CFM exam
Question #: 11
Topic #: 9
[All CFM Questions]

What tools would a project manager use or create to define the project team?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Defining the project team requires clear roles, responsibilities, and task allocation. The three key tools are:

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Defines tasks and subtasks, ensuring clarity on who does what.

Project Organizational Chart: Maps out the project team, including reporting structures.

Responsibility Matrix (RACI): Clearly defines who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for each task.

Why the other options are incorrect:

(A) The corporate org chart and HR policies are useful but do not define project-specific roles.

(C) A task list and RFP help with initial planning but do not structure the project team.

(D) Budget and schedule are important but focus on project execution, not team definition.

C) Task list, responsibility matrix, and the request for proposal seems a bit too specific. I'd go with B - it's the most well-rounded choice.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. But I think B is the more comprehensive answer that covers all the essential tools.

B) Work breakdown structure, project organizational chart, and responsibility matrix definitely seems like the right answer here. Those are the key tools a project manager would use to define the project team.
