Which of the following best distinguishes a project from a routine operation?
It uses available resources
It requires management
It produces deliverables
It is temporary and unique
The principle of "progressive elaboration" in projects refers to:
Scaling up the team size
Reducing cost progressively
Increasing resources at each phase
Developing in steps as project understanding improves
Which characteristic is NOT typically associated with a project?
Ongoing process
Defined objectives
Resource constraints
Specific timeline
The primary purpose of a feasibility study is to:
Hire the right team
Allocate resources
Decide if the project is viable and worthwhile
Estimate the duration
In project management, scope defines:
The budget available
The overall duration
Boundaries and deliverables
Resources to be hired
Which SDLC phase includes justification for a project before formal approval?
Construction
Initiation
Testing
Design
What is the primary output of the 'Requirements Elicitation' phase?
Software code
User interface design
Functional and non-functional requirements
Gantt chart
Which of the following is a key activity in the SDLC 'Construction' phase?
Brainstorming
Writing code and building the system
Gathering resources
Stakeholder interviews
Acceptance testing is primarily conducted by:
Developers
Managers
End-users
Database administrators
The purpose of implementation in SDLC is to:
Train developers
Rewrite the code
Make the system available to end-users
Reassess feasibility
Which document formally defines how a project will be executed and controlled?
Project report
SPMP
Feasibility report
Use-case document
Which of the following is NOT part of the SPMP document?
Testing scripts
Risk management plan
Work breakdown structure
Cost planning
The estimation of effort in project planning is based on:
Stakeholder votes
Duration only
Historical data and techniques
Testing documents
PERT charts are mainly used for:
Risk analysis
Quality control
Time scheduling and network representation
Hardware setup
Communication planning includes all EXCEPT:
Timing of meetings
Tools for communication
Programming language choice
Attendees of meetings
A business case is primarily developed to:
Replace design documents
Justify starting a project
Show employee efficiency
Support training sessions
Which metric evaluates financial profitability using time value of money?
ROI
Budget
Payback period
NPV
If a project has a negative NPV, it indicates:
Higher profit
Acceptable risk
Not financially beneficial
Fast delivery
The Payback Period indicates:
Return over a lifetime
Risk factors
Time to recover initial investment
Quality of output
A longer payback period implies:
Higher profitability
Faster returns
Higher project feasibility
Slower recovery of costs
Which implementation strategy has the highest risk but is quickest?
Parallel running
Phased take-on
Direct changeover
Pilot implementation
Which strategy uses both old and new systems simultaneously?
Direct changeover
Parallel running
Pilot changeover
Incremental model
Which method is most suitable for gradual implementation of complex systems?
Pilot
Parallel
Phased take-on
Direct
A new system is tested in a single department before full rollout in which strategy?
Phased
Pilot
Direct
SDLC
Pilot implementation helps to:
Reduce overall system cost
Replace waterfall model
Validate system in limited scope
Train all users at once
Which model follows a strict sequential flow?
Spiral
Iterative
Waterfall
Agile
The main drawback of the waterfall model is:
Overlapping tasks
Early feedback from users
Issues found late in the cycle
Costly at initial stages
In the incremental model:
The entire system is built and tested at once
Code is never released until full completion
Functional parts are built and released in parts
Testing is skipped
Which model allows repeated execution of design and implementation phases?
Agile
Iterative
V-Model
Spiral
A hybrid of iterative and incremental model results in:
Agile
Continuous feedback loops
Phase skipping
Faster maintenance only
Risk analysis is done in project planning to:
Eliminate all risks
Document the project cost
Identify, estimate, and prepare for risks
Develop software faster
Which of the following would NOT be a project risk?
Team unavailability
Hardware failure
Gantt chart design
Schedule overrun
Project assurance includes all except:
Ensuring milestones are met
Random stakeholder inputs
Maintaining quality standards
Verifying deliverables
Which of the following is essential for tracking project progress?
Net present value
PERT and Gantt charts
Pilot testing
Coding speed
Project monitoring and control is most closely linked to:
Brainstorming sessions
Design process
Project tracking metrics
Stakeholder meetings only
Post-Implementation Review is done to:
Plan the next project
Evaluate success and gather lessons
Design system architecture
Conduct unit testing
Which of the following is NOT a typical content in a post-implementation review?
Objectives achieved
Budget analysis
Future recommendations
Final design documentation
When should a post-implementation review be conducted?
Before feasibility
During design
After deployment
During testing
The primary outcome of post-implementation review is to:
Decide team structure
Validate code
Improve future projects
Remove developers
In post-implementation review, a project is rated based on:
How many users it has
Budget, time, and objectives
Marketing feedback
SPMP document
