Hi. Question 21, if I understand well you discarded option D because the text is asking about overlapping work and ownership, and about resources conflicts are potentia and not actual. Correct? Thanks.

A Resource Calendar can indeed be used both for planning and actual situations, as it provides visibility into the planned availability and allocation of resources. However, the key distinction here is that while a Resource Calendar focuses on allocation and availability, it does not address the ownership of work or how overlapping efforts should be managed among projects. In this question, the primary concern revolves around clarifying ownership and managing overlapping work during the planning phase. A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is specifically designed for this purpose, as it provides a clear hierarchical breakdown of work, ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities and reducing the risk of conflicts. So while the calendar is useful for planning resource use, it doesn’t fully address the stakeholders' concerns, which makes Option C (WBS) the better choice here.
