Which term describes the logical sequence of events or tasks used to complete a project?

• A. Work Breakdown Structure
• B. Statement of work
• C. Troubleshooting data
• D. Maintenance plan

Answer: (A)

Mapping a project into a structured set of tasks—the Work Breakdown Structure—defines the logical sequence of work needed to complete the project. The WBS breaks the overall scope into deliverables and smaller work packages, clarifying what must be done and how different pieces fit together. This structure is the foundation for planning, estimating time and resources, and sequencing activities because once you know all the tasks, you can arrange them in the order that makes sense, identify dependencies, and assign responsibility. A statement of work, while important, describes the work to be performed in a contractual sense but does not organize the tasks into a hierarchical plan. Troubleshooting data relates to information collected during issue resolution and isn’t a planning framework. A maintenance plan focuses on ongoing upkeep after deployment rather than how the project itself is structured and sequenced.
