• Chose A1

  Effective planning reduces rework by ensuring that the project's scope and required deliverables are understood before execution begins. A Work Breakdown Structure organizes and decomposes the total project scope and provides a foundation for identifying activities, estimating resource requirements, and developing a realistic project schedule. The WBS is not itself the schedule; rather, it is a key planning input that supports schedule and resource planning. The other options either confuse hours worked with productivity, disregard team competencies, or introduce unnecessary meetings without addressing the underlying planning need.

  The correct answer is A. Use a work breakdown structure (WBS) to create a project schedule based on the project and resource requirements. A WBS breaks the project into smaller, manageable work packages, making it easier to plan, assign responsibilities, and estimate resources. This structured approach helps the team understand the work clearly, improving efficiency and reducing rework and missed requirements.
