Mod 7 Unit 2

The role of a project manager in monitoring a project is to:

• Plan and execute tasks

• Monitor and control project progress

• Design project architecture

• Develop project software

Monitoring is considered a critical role in project management because:

• it helps in tracking progress and identifying issues early.

• it is a formality that needs to be completed.

• it is only required for large projects.

• it is not necessary for successful project completion.

Monitoring helps in keeping a project on track by:

• Identifying potential issues early

• Increasing project costs

• Reducing team communication

• Delaying project timelines

The purpose of monitoring the scope in project management is to:

• Ensure project objectives are met

• Track team performance

• Manage project costs

• Improve communication

The initial project scope is defined and refined according to the passage.

• By setting clear objectives and goals

• Through stakeholder meetings and feedback

• By analyzing project constraints and resources

• Using historical data and past project experiences

Actions to take if there are differences between actual performance and the baseline scope include:

• Re-evaluate the project goals and objectives

• Ignore the differences and continue as planned

• Increase the project budget without analysis

• Delay the project indefinitely

The role of the project manager during the execution phase of the project life cycle is to:

• Coordinate project activities and resources

• Develop the project plan

• Identify project risks

• Close the project

The triple constraint in project management is:

• Scope, Time, Cost

• Quality, Risk, Resources

• Stakeholders, Communication, Budget

• Planning, Execution, Closure

A decrease in project scope can be caused by:

• increased budget

• reduced requirements

• extended deadlines

• additional resources

Scope creep is:

• A gradual expansion of project scope without adjustments to time, cost, and resources.

• A method to reduce project costs.

• A technique to improve team communication.

• A strategy to enhance project quality.
