What is required in the resource breakdown structure?

  1. Detailed descriptions of each task

  2. Various categories and specifies a skill or grade required

  3. Only the total budget of the project

  4. A list of all project risks

The correct answer is: Various categories and specifies a skill or grade required

In the Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS), various categories are required, specifying the skill or grade necessary for each resource involved in the project. This is because the RBS is a hierarchical representation of resources by category and type, which helps in organizing and understanding the resources needed for the project. Option A is incorrect because detailed descriptions of each task are typically included in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), not the Resource Breakdown Structure. Option C is incorrect because the RBS should not only include the total budget of the project, as its main focus is on categorizing and specifying the resources needed. Option D is incorrect as listing all project risks is part of the Risk Register, not the Resource Breakdown Structure.
