How is a project backlog different from a work breakdown structure (WBS)?
The project backlog assumes that changes are coming and therefore does not build work too far ahead, while the WBS builds everything at the start and incorporates changes later.
When developing a project budget, it is important to ______ reserves, _______ all documentation, and keep the budget updated
Manage; Maintain

How does executing a project backlog differ from a work breakdown structure (WBS)?
- A backlog-based project schedule assumes that some items will not be delivered
- A WBS-based project schedule assumes that all scope items will be delivered.
Which document is utilized after going live to mitigate risks such as lack of stakeholder interest due to a lack of milestones?
