Which of the following are inputs to Activity Definition?

Question

Options

• AProject Scope Statement and Work Breakdown Structure
• BActivity list and Arrow Diagram
• CChange Requests Lists and Organizational Process Assets
• DProject Management Plan and Resource Availability

• A
  72% (39)
• B
  9% (5)
• C
  15% (8)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Option A is correct because Activity Definition (Define Activities) requires the Project Scope Statement to understand what work is in and out of scope, and the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to decompose deliverables into the specific actions needed to produce them - these two documents together provide the foundation for identifying every schedulable activity.

Option B is wrong because the Activity List is an output of Activity Definition, not an input - you can't use something as input when it's what you're trying to create. Arrow Diagrams belong to the Sequence Activities process, not this one.

Option C is wrong because Change Requests are outputs generated by other processes and do not drive the initial definition of activities. While Organizational Process Assets (OPAs) are a real input, pairing them with Change Request Lists makes this option incorrect overall.

Option D is wrong because Resource Availability is primarily an input to Activity Resource Estimating, the process that comes after activities are defined - you first define what to do, then figure out what resources are needed.

Memory tip: Think of Activity Definition as answering "What exactly do we need to do?" - you can only answer that by looking at the scope (what's promised) and the WBS (how the work is broken down), making A the logical pair.
