What is a work package?

A document outlining the project's scope
A tool used for project scheduling
The highest level of a WBS
The lowest level of a WBS; cost estimates are made at this level

The correct answer is: The lowest level of a WBS; cost estimates are made at this level

A work package is the lowest level of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). It is a task or deliverable that can be easily assigned to a specific team member or group. Detailed cost estimates are made at this level, which helps in accurately planning and tracking project costs. Work packages are essential for monitoring progress, assigning responsibility, and ensuring that project objectives are met within the allocated budget and timeframe. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because a work package is not a document outlining the project's scope, a tool used for project scheduling, or the highest level of a WBS. These elements are not as detailed as a work package and do not involve the same level of granularity or cost estimation that occurs at the work package level.
