In a workplan, what term describes planned actions if things go off schedule?

• A. Milestones
• B. Contingency plans
• C. Workflow
• D. Annotations

Answer: (B)

In a workplan, you prepare for what could go wrong by outlining actions to take if things slip off schedule. These predefined actions are contingency plans. They’re part of risk management, giving you a ready-made response to keep the project on track—like reallocating resources, adjusting timelines, or switching to an alternate supplier when a delay occurs. Milestones are just the scheduled points that mark progress, not actions to recover from delays. A workflow describes the order of tasks and how work flows through the process. Annotations are notes added to explain parts of the plan. So the planned actions you turn to when schedules go off track are contingency plans.
