MGT1201 Chapter 5

What is the primary purpose of defining "out of scope" items in a project?

• To expand project deliverables

• To prevent scope creep and manage stakeholder expectations

• To increase the project budget

• To eliminate the need for a WBS

Which element of the Triple Constraint is most directly impacted if a stakeholder requests additional features mid-project?

• Time

• Cost

• Scope

• Quality

In a WBS, a "work package" represents:

• The final project report

• The smallest assignable unit of work

• A stakeholder meeting

• A risk mitigation plan

Which estimation technique involves team members voting on task durations using cards?

• Delphi

• Timeboxing

• Poker Planning

• Top-down

A milestone in project management signifies:

• A deliverable handed to the client

• A checkpoint marking phase completion

• A risk event

• A budget revision

The "Validate Scope" process ensures:

• All team members are paid on time

• Deliverables meet agreed-upon criteria

• The project budget is doubled

• Stakeholders avoid all meetings

Which tool would best help visualize the hierarchy of deliverables in a project?

• Gantt chart

• Deliverable Structure Chart

• Risk register

• MOV statement

If a project’s scope increases without adjusting time or cost, the project is likely to:

• Achieve higher quality

• Fail due to imbalance in the Triple Constraint

• Automatically reduce risks

• Eliminate the need for milestones

The Delphi estimation technique is characterized by:

• Limiting task time arbitrarily

• Consensus-building among experts

• Bottom-up task aggregation

• Ignoring stakeholder input

Which of the following is NOT a component of scope management?

• Collecting requirements

• Creating a WBS

• Validating scope

• Increasing budget without justification
