AAn approach used to track routine ongoing business operations
BUsing structured processes, techniques, and expertise to achieve defined project goals
CA way to delegate work within a permanent organisational department
DThe review of daily activity records to measure performance
EA system designed to forecast resource consumption across an entire business
✓ Correct answer: B. Using structured processes, techniques, and expertise to achieve defined project goalsProject management involves applying a structured set of methods and knowledge to deliver defined goals within agreed constraints.
Why the other options are incorrect:
• An approach used to track routine ongoing business operations: This describes operational management rather than project management.
• A way to delegate work within a permanent organisational department: Delegating tasks within a department may occur in projects, but it does not define project management.
• The review of daily activity records to measure performance: Reviewing daily logs is a feature of routine operations management.
• A system designed to forecast resource consumption across an entire business: Business-wide resource forecasting is a strategic planning activity, not specific to project management.
