What is a planning package?

  1. A project management software

  2. A set of project plans

  3. A component of the WBS that is a subset of the control account

  4. An emergency plan for project risks

The correct answer is: A component of the WBS that is a subset of the control account

A planning package is a specific level of work in a project that is developed within the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). This level is a subset of the control account, which is the control point for a specific budget. Option A is incorrect as a planning package is not a project management software, it is a part of the project planning process. Option B is incorrect as a planning package is not a set of project plans, it is a specific level in the WBS. Option D is incorrect as a planning package is not an emergency plan for project risks, it is a planned and structured approach to completing a project deliverable.
