Which artifact describes the work to be performed in the project?

• A. Schedule
• B. Statement of Work
• C. WBS
• D. Quality Plan

Answer: (B)

The Statement of Work is the artifact that describes the work to be performed. It outlines the project’s objectives, scope, deliverables, tasks required, acceptance criteria, and any constraints or assumptions, so everyone shares the same understanding of what will be done and how success will be measured. The schedule focuses on timing and sequencing, the WBS decomposes work into smaller components, and the Quality Plan details quality standards and procedures, not the specific work to be performed.
