CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Practice Exam

What does the resource breakdown structure organize and report?

1. Project financial data

2. Project schedule data with resource utilization information

3. Only the project's final deliverables

4. Team management structures

The correct answer is: Project schedule data with resource utilization information

The resource breakdown structure (RBS) organizes and reports project schedule data, as well as resource utilization information. This structure enables project managers to allocate resources effectively and identify where resources may be over or underutilized, allowing them to make adjustments as needed. Option A is incorrect because the project's financial data is organized and reported by the cost breakdown structure (CBS). Option C is incorrect because the final deliverables are organized and reported by the work breakdown structure (WBS). Option D is incorrect because team management structures are not organized or reported by any specific breakdown structure.
