What does rolling wave planning involve in define activities process?

1. Detailed planning for future work at a high level

2. Detailed work for the near term and less detail for future work

3. Planning work in waves as project progresses

4. Immediate tasks are completed first before any planning

The correct answer is: Detailed work for the near term and less detail for future work

Rolling wave planning is a project management approach where the level of detail in planning is aligned with the understanding of the work to be done. This means more detailed planning is done for the near term work, while future work is planned with less detail as the project progresses. Option A is incorrect because it only focuses on detailed planning for future work, neglecting the near term work. Option C is incorrect because it suggests planning work in waves, without mentioning the level of detail for different stages of planning. Option D is incorrect because it prioritizes immediate tasks over planning, which is not the case with rolling wave planning.
