A. B. C. D.B.
In project management, the terms "management stage" and "technical stage" are often used to describe different phases of the project lifecycle. A management stage is a phase of the project where the primary focus is on managing the project, while a technical stage is a phase of the project where the primary focus is on performing technical work.
A. Management stages require planning and technical stages do not - This answer is not correct. Both management stages and technical stages require planning. In fact, planning is an essential part of both management and technical work.
B. Technical stages can overlap and management stages cannot - This answer is partially correct. Technical stages can overlap, but so can management stages. For example, during the planning phase, management and technical work may be happening concurrently.
C. Management stages deliver products and technical stages do not - This answer is not correct. Both management stages and technical stages contribute to the delivery of the project's products or deliverables. Management stages focus on managing the project to ensure that the products are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality, while technical stages focus on the technical work required to produce the products.
D. Technical stages require resources and management stages do not - This answer is not correct. Both management stages and technical stages require resources. Management stages require resources such as personnel, budget, and equipment to manage the project, while technical stages require resources such as personnel, equipment, and materials to perform the technical work.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, but it is important to note that management stages can also overlap, and planning is required in both management and technical stages.
