Question
As part of the planning phase, a PM has defined tasks, durations, resources, and costs. Which of the following is the NEXT step in the process?
- A. Update the work breakdown structure.
- B. Review the backlog.
- C. Seek baseline approval. Correct
- D. Establish the resource pool.
Explanation
Once tasks, durations, resources and costs have been defined, the plan is complete enough to be baselined, so the next step is to get the scope, schedule and cost baselines approved by the sponsor and key stakeholders. The WBS was already used to define the tasks, so updating it is not the next step. Reviewing a backlog belongs to Agile iteration planning, and the resource pool was already settled when resources were assigned.
