What is decomposition in the define activities process?

  1. Breaking the project into phases

  2. Dividing the project team into smaller groups

  3. Breaking down deliverables into smaller components - activities

  4. Assigning tasks to external vendors

The correct answer is: Breaking down deliverables into smaller components - activities

Decomposition in the define activities process is the act of breaking down complex deliverables into smaller, more manageable components or activities. It is an important step in project management as it allows for better planning and control of tasks and resources. Option A is incorrect because it refers to breaking the project into phases, which is typically done in the project planning stage. Option B is incorrect because it refers to dividing the project team into smaller groups, which may not necessarily involve breaking down deliverables into smaller components. Option D is incorrect because it refers to assigning tasks to external vendors, which is a separate task from decomposition of deliverables.
