IFMA CFM Question Answer
What tools would a project manager use or create to define the project team?
Project schedule, corporate organizational chart, and human resources policy
Work breakdown structure, project organizational chart, and responsibility matrix
Task list, responsibility matrix, and the request for proposal that initiated the project
Project budget, project schedule, and project organizational chart
Defining the project team requires clear roles, responsibilities, and task allocation. The three key tools are:
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Defines tasks and subtasks, ensuring clarity on who does what.
Project Organizational Chart: Maps out the project team, including reporting structures.
Responsibility Matrix (RACI): Clearly defines who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for each task.
Why the other options are incorrect:
(A) The corporate org chart and HR policies are useful but do not define project-specific roles.
(C) A task list and RFP help with initial planning but do not structure the project team.
(D) Budget and schedule are important but focus on project execution, not team definition​.
