Answer:

B) Project teams may rely upon a WBS from a previous project as a starting point.

C) Project teams may jump start the effort with a brainstorming session.

Explanation:

A project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a tool that a team may use to progressively divide deliverables into smaller pieces (e.g. reports, documents, software products, etc.). Deliverables located at the lowest level of each branch of a WBS are known as work packages.

When the project team creates the second level of the WBS they can organize by:

• major design components, or
• project phases, or
• work functions.
