CAPM Project Management Exam Prep

Answer: d - Creating a picture dictionary might be fun to do, but would not be as effective in controlling scope creep as employing a WBS dictionary consisting of clear, concise definitions of work packages along with a work authorization system.

Yes, we know this question was really easy, but we wanted to emphasize the importance of the other three answer - writing clear work packages, creating a dictionary and using a work authorization system. These are important tools in larger, more complex projects.

Key Take Away: A WBS dictionary is not only an effective tool in controlling scope creep, but an effective exercise for Project Managers to employ with the project team members, to familiarize them more with the project, it’s related tasks, and what’s involved in each one.
