PgMP Program Manager Exam Prep

Answer - C - The components at the lowest level are called work packages.

Key Takeaway: Decomposition of program deliverables is a handy tool for creating the PWBS. Basically, decomposition breaks down program deliverables into smaller, more manageable tasks called program packages. These are then broken down even further. The packages at the lowest level of this hierarchy are called work packages. You will need to know the program deliverables before even starting the PWBS and creating an overarching schedule must come before the packets of smaller work. Therefore, work packages are always at the lowest level of the PWBS hierarchy.
