BTo reduce the amount of planning required
CTo ensure the project closes sooner
DTo decrease the number of reviews
ETo avoid the need for Project Board decisions
✓ Correct answer: A. When greater control is needed on complex projectsOn more complex projects, adding extra stages is a way of increasing management control.
Why the other options are incorrect:
• To reduce the amount of planning required: Adding stages increases the amount of planning required, not reduces it.
• To ensure the project closes sooner: More stages do not lead to earlier project closure.
• To decrease the number of reviews: Each additional stage introduces another review point, increasing rather than decreasing the number of reviews.
• To avoid the need for Project Board decisions: The Project Board retains its decision-making role regardless of how many stages exist.
