 Work Packages
Solution Student's question:
If it is the case that work packages can be broken into activities, tasks and sub-tasks, won't the tasks and sub-tasks be the lowest level (as long as the 80-hour rule or some rule is followed), or is it that the WBS does not recognize anything below the work package?

PMP Expert's Answer:
PMBOK: defines a work package as "a deliverable" at the lowest level of the WBS. Developed during the scope definition process, the work package can be further decomposed into activities (vs deliverables at the WBS work package level) during the activity definition process. This process of further decomposition produces the activity list which is an extension of the WBS.
