Which of the following outputs is produced by the 'Develop Schedule' process?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Project schedule and schedule baseline

Explanation

The Develop Schedule process produces the project schedule (with planned start/finish dates for all activities) and the schedule baseline (the approved version used for performance measurement). The WBS, activity list, and resource requirements are inputs to schedule development, not outputs of it.

**Why not B:** The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is an output of the Create WBS process, not the Develop Schedule process. The WBS decomposes scope into work packages and is an input to schedule development, providing the foundation for identifying activities.

**Why not C:** The activity list and activity attributes are outputs of the Define Activities process, which precedes Develop Schedule. These are inputs that feed into schedule development, not products of it.

**Why not D:** Resource requirements are an output of the Estimate Activity Resources process, and resource calendars are an input from the organization. Neither is produced by the Develop Schedule process — they are used as inputs to create the schedule.
