Explanation
Once the PM has defined tasks, durations, resources, and costs, the project plan elements (scope, schedule, and cost baselines) are effectively established. The logical next step is to seek formal approval of these baselines from stakeholders or sponsors. Approval sets the performance measurement baseline against which project progress will be tracked. The WBS should already be complete before tasks and durations are defined. The resource pool is established before assigning resources to tasks. The backlog is a concept from agile and would have been reviewed earlier in planning.
