,Chapter Review Questions—Suggested Answers
1. What is a project? (Objective #1-1, p. 4)
ANS: The narrow answer is: A project is a new, time-bound effort that has
a definite beginning and a definite ending with several related and/or
interdependent tasks to create a unique product or service.
The broader answer is: A project is an endeavor that requires an
organized set of work efforts that are planned in a level of detail that is
progressively elaborated as more information is discovered. Projects are
subject to limitations of time and resources such as money and people.
Projects should follow a planned and organized approach with a defined
beginning and ending. Project plans and goals become more specific as
early work is completed. The output often is a collection of a primary
deliverable along with supporting deliverables such as a house as the
primary deliverable and warranties and instructions for use as
supporting deliverables. Each project typically has a unique combination of
stakeholders people and groups who can impact the project or might
be impacted by either the work or results of the project. Projects
often require a variety of people to work
together for a limited time, and each needs to understand that
completing the project will require effort in addition to their other
assigned work.
2. What is project management? (Objective #1-1, p. 4)
ANS: Project management is the art and science of using knowledge, skills,
tools, and techniques efficiently and effectively to meet stakeholder
needs and expectations. This includes work processes that initiate, plan,
execute, control, and close work.
Project management includes both administrative tasks for planning,
documenting, and controlling work and leadership tasks for visioning,
motivating, and promoting work associates.
3. How are projects different than ongoing operations? (Objective #1-3, p. 6)
ANS: Projects are temporary, while operations are ongoing.
4. What types of constraints are common to most projects? (Objective #1-4, p.
12)
ANS: Project performance, comprising scope (size) and quality (acceptability
of the results), is constrained by cost and schedule.
5. What are the three components of the Talent Triangle? (Objective #1-4, p.
11)
2
, ANS: The core objectives include those that the Talent Triangle classifies
as technical, behavioral, and strategic.
