A project manager has completed the use cases for a web-development module and the durations to complete the project. Which of the following would be the NEXT step in developing the project schedule?

The correct answer is C. Identify the predecessors. Schedule development follows a logical sequence: define activities → estimate durations → identify dependencies (predecessors) → sequence activities → build the schedule network. Since use cases (activities) and durations are already defined, the next step is establishing…

Explanation

Schedule development follows a logical sequence: define activities → estimate durations → identify dependencies (predecessors) → sequence activities → build the schedule network. Since use cases (activities) and durations are already defined, the next step is establishing predecessors - which tasks must finish before others can begin. Without dependencies, you cannot sequence tasks or calculate the critical path. Determining start/end dates (A) comes after sequencing. Sponsor sign-off (B) happens after the schedule is built. A kickoff meeting (D) is a project initiation activity, not a schedule-building step.
