  1. Decomposition

  2. Planning package

  3. Requirements traceability matrix

  4. Rolling wave planning

The correct answer is: Rolling wave planning

Rolling wave planning is the technique used for addressing uncertainties in project deliverables. This approach involves planning a project in waves, focusing on the near-term details while leaving the future work to be planned as the project progresses and as more information becomes available. By addressing uncertainties in project deliverables through rolling wave planning, project managers can adapt and adjust their plans based on the evolving project environment, reducing the risks associated with unknown factors. Options A, B, and C are incorrect: A. Decomposition is a technique used in the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) process to break down project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components. B. Planning package refers to a work package in the WBS that is at a higher level of the project hierarchy and includes planning activities. C. Requirements traceability matrix is a tool used to link project requirements to the project scope, providing a way to track requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
