Not an actual question but created to define my doubt.

What is NOT input to 'define activities'.
a scope baseline
b wbs
c EEF - (some example of eef)
d)OPS - (some example of org process assets).


From PMBOK list, we know that a/c/d are there. BUT logically WBS belongs to scopebaseline and is included.

So my question is - Whether this kind of question can appear in the exam where you might have to remember the list by heart?

I just took the exam, and I did not experience too many questions like this - intentionally tricky. But if you choose the BEST answer, it is "b". The WBS may logically be part of the scope baseline, but it is NOT part of the PMBOK def. of the scope baseline.

If you UNDERSTAND how the ITTO's work, you do not need to memorize them - at least that is my experience.
Regards,

Adam

Thanks for the reply Adam.
It's a relief to hear that there are not many 'intentionally tricky' questions.

And congratulations on you achievement!
