Explanation

Schedule Development is the process that synthesizes all prior time management outputs into an actual project schedule, so it requires both the project scope statement (which provides constraints, milestones, and assumptions) and resource calendars (which define when resources are available) to build a realistic, complete schedule.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Activity Sequencing only needs the activity list and dependency information to establish logical relationships - it doesn't yet need to know resource availability.
• B. Activity Resource Estimating uses resource availability/calendars but focuses on quantity and type of resources per activity, not the scope statement.
• D. Schedule Control is a monitoring & controlling process that uses the existing schedule as a baseline - it doesn't consume scope statements or calendars as primary inputs.

Memory tip: Think of Schedule Development as the "big merge" - it's where everything comes together (sequences, durations, resource calendars, scope constraints) to produce the actual schedule. If an input sounds like it influences when or who, it feeds into Schedule Development.
