PMI PMP Project Management

Answer: d - A synopsis of a WBS represents only a portion of the work that is involved in a project and will not break the work down into efficient work packages.

It will not allow you to get a full understanding of the project, to become familiar with all of a project’s nuances, nor does it include all of the tasks necessary to bring a project to successful completion.

Key Take Away: Effective project managers have learned to use the best tools for managing their projects. Fast and dirty To-Do lists may help a struggling project manager constantly plug the damn on a complex project, but the project manager who employs well thought-out, team-centric tools, such as a full blown WBS, is going to see the best results. A WBS needs to be extremely detailed to be effective.
