Question

Options

• AQuality
• BObjectives
• CEstimates
• DRequirements

• A
  5% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  90% (35)

Explanation

Requirements (D) are the correct answer because they formally capture what the customer expects - scope, quality standards, deliverables, and constraints - giving the project team a concrete baseline to work against and measure success by.

• Quality (A) is a result of meeting requirements, not a starting definition point; you can't manage quality until you know what "good" looks like per the customer's specifications.
• Objectives (B) are high-level goals set by the organization, not the detailed customer-specific criteria needed to guide day-to-day work.
• Estimates (C) relate to cost and schedule planning, which come after requirements are understood - you can't accurately estimate what you haven't yet defined.

Memory tip: Think of requirements as the "contract language" between customer and team. When a subcontractor wants to match a client's standards, they need documented requirements - the specific, measurable expectations - before any other planning activity can meaningfully begin.
