One of the project managers at your company has resigned and you have been assigned as the new project manager for his old project. You call a team meeting to get a rundown on the project activities completed to date. The project team tells you that the project is in its planning stage.

They are now working on the project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). What has the project team forgotten to do?
A) Create the Scope Statement before creating the WBS

Answer and Explanation:
The Correct answer is A. Project templates are not created as a part of any of the project management processes. These can be found in the Organizational Process Assets. The Project Management Plan cannot be finalized until all of the project planning processes are finished, making that choice also incorrect. The Statement of Work is provided either by the project sponsor or the customer and is not created by the project team, so that choice is incorrect as well. As the team has moved on to creating the WBS, they have forgotten to create the Project Scope Statement, which is always created before the WBS.
