What are the components of the WBS?

  1. Control accounts and work packages

  2. Project objectives and deliverables

  3. Stakeholder list and communication plan

  4. Risk register and issue log

The correct answer is: Control accounts and work packages

A WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) consists of two main components control accounts and work packages. Control accounts are used to manage a group of related work packages and are often used for budget tracking and project control. The work packages are the smallest level of detail in a WBS and represent a specific task or deliverable. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the components of a WBS. Project objectives and deliverables are more broad and high-level concepts, while a stakeholder list and communication plan are important project management tools but not part of a WBS. The risk register and issue log are also important project management tools, but they serve a different purpose than the WBS components.
