When is a work breakdown structure MOST useful?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is most useful when managing projects with multiple work packages that involve a combination of internal and external resources. The WBS helps in organizing and defining the total scope of the project by breaking down the project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components, facilitating better planning, allocation, and control of resources. Reference: (PRINCE2 7 Foundation Handbook, AXELOS)

I'm torn between A and B, but I think I'll go with A. Juggling multiple stakeholders is where a work breakdown structure can really shine.

Haha, option D is just too funny. 'Assuring business, user and supplier aspects'? That's way too complicated, let's keep it simple!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. I think option C is the way to go - using a work breakdown structure to set up a change authority sounds really practical.

I'm going with B. For a simple project with a small team, a work breakdown structure can provide a clear roadmap and help keep everyone on the same page.
