Initiating
Executing
Planning
Monitoring & Controlling
Which one of the following are the unapproved and undocumented changes and what occurs when to the scope are not detected early enough or are not managed?
Scope baseline
Residual risks
Scope Creep
Change Control
The project scope statement that describes project deliverables and the work required to create them in detail, enables the project team to perform more detailed planning, guides the project team’s work during execution, and provides the baseline for evaluating changes includes all of the following EXCEPT:
Project deliverables
Detailed work breakdown structure
Product acceptance criteria
Project constraints
Which of the following BEST describes the project manager’s role as an integrator
Help team members become familiar with the project
Put all the pieces of a project in to a program
Put all the pieces of a project into a cohesive whole
Get all team members together into a cohesive whole
Which one of the following statement is NOT true about the project management plan?
It is a single-approved document that defines how the project is executed, monitored and controlled and closed
It is progressively a elaborated by updates and controlled and approved through the perform integrated change control
It is developed through a series of integrated processes until project closure
It provides project inputs, tools & technique, and outputs to be used on the project for the propose of managing the product of the project
Which one of the following is FALSE about change management in as project?
“Influencing the factors that effect change” means determining the source of changes and fixing the root causes
Whenever there is a change request, the project manager should evaluate the impact on project objectives such as scope, time, cost, quality, risk, resources, and other factors
The project manager should make all the effort to prevent unnecessary changes in the project
The project manager should make the change happen as soon as possible to meet and exceed customer expectations
Effective project integration usually requires an emphasis on:
The personal careers of the team members
Timely updates to the project management plan
Effective communication at key interface points
Product control
Which of the following is a KEY output of the Validate Scope process?
Customer acceptance of project deliverables.
Improved schedule estimates.
A more complete scope management plan.
An improved project management information system.
During project executing, a team member comes to the project manager because he is not sure what work he needs to accomplish on the project. Which of the following documents contain detailed descriptions of the work packages?
Activity list.
WBS dictionary.
Project scope statement.
Scope management plan
You are approaching the end of your project and have been asked to release the resources so that they can be assigned to other projects. Before releasing the resources, you want to make sure that you have completed the necessary actions. Which of the following is the correct order of actions that you take during the closing process?
Get formal acceptance, release the team, write lessons learned, and close the contract
Release the team, get formal acceptance, close the contract, write lessons learned
Write lessons learned, release the team, get formal acceptance, and close the contract
Get formal acceptance, write lessons learned, release the team, and close the contract
To control the schedule, a project manager is reanalyzing the project to predict project duration. She does this by analyzing the sequence of activities with the LEAST amount of scheduling flexibility. What technique is she using?
Precedence diagramming
Critical path method
Flowchart
Work breakdown structure
A project manager is in Sequence Activities process of identifying and documenting relationships among defined activities and arranging them in the order they must be performed. While in this processes., the project manager decided to utilize a software tool to create a Precedence Diagramming Method (PMD) network diagram. This network diagram creates a schematic display of the sequential and logical relationships, dependencies, and the order in which activities in a project must be performed. You also added the duration of each activity in the network diagram to calculate the critical path. Which one of the following is False about the critical path?
It determines the shortest time to complete the project.
It is the longest duration path through a network diagram.
The activities on the critical path represent critical functionality.
The activities on the critical path represent the highest schedule risk in the project.
Your project sponsor is extremely disappointed with the project as it is over budget by $15,000 and also behind schedule by several weeks. The sponsor has asked you take care of this situation immediately and do whatever it takes. While exploring different options to shorten the project duration, you decide to put some of the noncritical activities on hold so that some of the resources working on these activities and be assigned to the activities with the most schedule risk. You also asked for a couple of additional external resources to be added to the project. The sponsor agrees to pay additional cost time is now a critical factor. This is an example of which of the following?
Critical chain method
Crashing
Fast-tracking
Resource Levelling
One of your team members working on the project informed you that a work package would most likely require ten weeks to complete. In the best-case scenario, if everything goes well and there are no surprises, it will take eight weeks. Since he is involved in more than two projects and has several pending deliverables, this specific work package may take eighteen weeks to complete. Based on this information, what is the range of the work package?
11 weeks to 12 weeks
9.34 weeks to 12.66 weeks
8 weeks to 10 weeks
10 weeks to 18 weeks
Analogous estimating:
Uses bottom-up estimating techniques
Is used most frequently during project executing
Uses top-down estimating techniques
Calculates estimates using actual detailed historical costs
A project manager working on a construction project planned to install new carpets in all four rooms of the house. She measured the square footage of all the rooms and then multiplied that figure by a set cost factor to estimate the cost for installing the carpet. This is an example of
Bottom-up estimating
Parametric estimating
Analogous estimating
Three-points estimating
You are in the Determine Budget process of developing a budget or cost baseline and project funding requirements. All the following are Tools & Techniques in this process EXCEPT:
Cost aggregation
Funding limit reconciliation
Reserve analysis
Performance review
In your software-developing project, to develop an online accounting application, you are working on figuring out the total funding requirements and periodic funding requirements of the project. Which of the following will help you most in this case?
Project budget and contingency reserves
Funding limit reconciliation
Management reserves and contingency reserves
Cost baseline and management reserves
A cost performance index (CPI) of 0.89 means:
At this time, we expect the total project to cost 89 percent more than planned
The project is progressing at 89 percent of the rate planned
When the project time is completed, we will have spent 89 percent more than planned
The project is getting 89 cents out of every dollar invested
You are in the project manager of a construction project that will take six months to complete and will cost $75,000/month. At the end of the third month, you are asked to find out the cumulative SPI for the project and report it to management. While reviewing the project status, you found that you have spent $80,000 in the first month, $72,000 in the second month, and $75,000 in the third month. You also found that project was 15 percent complete at the end of first month, 35 percent complete at the end of second month, 45 percent complete at the end of third month. If you planned to complete 50 percent of the work by this time, what is the cumulative SPI at the end of month three?
0.9
1.1
0.5
0.34
