Which statement is true about work plans?

• A. They are only used after project completion.
• B. They contain unrelated details about branding.
• C. They include tasks, activities, timelines, resources, and progress monitoring.
• D. They are the same as a risk assessment.

Answer: (C)

A work plan is a practical map for delivering a project. It spells out what needs to be done (tasks and activities), when it should be done (timelines and milestones), who will do it (responsible people or teams), what resources are needed, and how progress will be tracked (progress monitoring). This combination lets you schedule work, allocate resources, monitor status, and adjust as work proceeds. That’s why including tasks, activities, timelines, resources, and progress monitoring is the best description of a work plan.

The other statements don’t fit: a work plan guides the work during the project, not only after it’s finished; branding details aren’t inherently part of a work plan, as branding is usually covered in branding guidelines or a separate brief; and a risk assessment is a different document focused on identifying and mitigating potential risks, not on outlining tasks and how progress will be tracked.
