You are the project manager for a subcontractor on a major contract. The prime contractor has asked that you manage your work in a detailed manner. Your first step is to______________
A. Follow the WBS that the prime contractor developed for the project and use the work packages you identified during the proposal B. Develop a subproject WBS for the work package that is your company's responsibility C. Establish a similar coding structure to the prime contractor's to facilitate use of a common project management information system D. Develop a WBS dictionary to show specific staff assignments
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation:
Work packages are items at the lowest level of the WBS. A subproject is a smaller portion of the original project when a project is subdivided into more manageable components or pieces. A subproject WBS then breaks down work packages into greater detail. A
subproject WBS generally is used when the project manager assigns a scope of work to another organization, and the project manager at that organization must plan and manage the scope of work in greater detail.
