What is an organizational breakdown structure used for?

  1. Detailing financial expenditures

  2. Relating work package responsibility to the organizational unit responsible

  3. Breaking down organizational goals into achievable tasks

  4. Assessing the risk associated with each project task

The correct answer is: Relating work package responsibility to the organizational unit responsible

An organizational breakdown structure (OBS) is a hierarchical chart that displays the relationships between work packages and the organizational units responsible for them. This helps to ensure clear communication and accountability within a project. Option A is incorrect because financial expenditures are typically detailed in a budget, not an OBS. Option C is incorrect because breaking down organizational goals into tasks is typically done in a work breakdown structure. Option D is incorrect because assessing risk is part of a risk management plan, not an OBS.
