To adjust the project scope, two elements that need to be changed are:

  1. Project Schedule: When scope changes are requested, it can affect the project schedule. Adding or removing scope can impact the amount of time it takes to complete the project, and thus, the project schedule needs to be adjusted accordingly. The project manager should evaluate the proposed scope changes, and work with the project team to assess the impact on the schedule.

  2. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): When the project scope changes, it is important to update the WBS to reflect the new scope. The WBS is the hierarchical breakdown of the project deliverables, and it is used to define the work that needs to be done. The WBS is often used as the basis for the project schedule, so any changes to the scope must be reflected in the WBS.

The other answer options are not directly related to adjusting the project scope:

A. Cost performance parameter: This is a measure of the project's cost performance. It is not directly related to the project scope.

C. KPI: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are metrics used to evaluate the success of a project. While KPIs can be affected by changes to the project scope, they are not directly related to adjusting the scope.

D. Corrective Action Plan: A corrective action plan is a document that outlines actions that need to be taken to address project issues or problems. It is not directly related to adjusting the project scope.

Therefore, the correct answers are B. Project Schedule and E. WBS.
