PK0-004 · Question #653
Given the table below for a house construction project: The table above is an example of which of the following project artifacts?
The correct answer is C. WBS. A hierarchical decomposition of a project into phases, deliverables, and work packages is the defining structure of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

Why each option
A hierarchical decomposition of a project into phases, deliverables, and work packages is the defining structure of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
A project plan is a broader document encompassing schedule, budget, resources, and risk - not a hierarchical decomposition table.
A Statement of Work (SOW) is a narrative document describing the work to be performed, deliverables, and timelines, not a hierarchical breakdown.
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) organizes project deliverables into a hierarchical tree, breaking down the total scope of work into manageable components. For a house construction project, this would show phases like foundation, framing, electrical, and plumbing decomposed into specific tasks, which is the standard format depicted in such tables.
A Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) maps requirements to test cases and deliverables to ensure coverage, not a hierarchical task decomposition.
A Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) organizes resources by type or category, not project deliverables or tasks.
A status report communicates current project progress and issues, not a structured decomposition of project scope.
