An organization instructs a project manager to conduct a cost performance exercise on a
project. The project manager calculates the cost variance of the project by referencing
what other input? (Select all that apply.)
Planned value
Contingency reserve
Earned value
Actual cost - Earned value
Earned value (EV) is the actual schedule and is a point in time value. To calculate a cost
variance, actual cost is subtracted from earned value.
Actual cost
Actual cost (AC) is the actual cost and is a point in time value. The cost variance is earned
value less the actual cost.
A project manager assigns a team member to create a list of measurable quality targets.
Which quality-related function does the team member perform?
Quality assurance
Quality control
Quality standards
,Quality objectives - Quality objectives
Quality objectives are within a quality assurance plan by creating a list of measurable
quality targets. The project will have multiple quality targets. Examples of targets include
on-time delivery and the number of defects.
When practicing a waterfall project methodology, in which phase is a project team
member responsible for valid quality specifications?
Testing
Design
Requirements
Maintenance - Testing
In the waterfall testing phase, project team members verify that any work completed
meets the requirements and quality specifications.
A company posts an internal memo inviting team members to join a project. The post
states that participants will receive an additional 2% pay for any eligible project hours in
addition to the standard company hourly rate. The project manager calculates the pay
with which value while building a resource worksheet?
Resource cost rate
Unit of measure
Cost aggregation
Reserves - Unit of measure
A resource cost rate matches with some unit of measure (UOM). The UOM will vary by
resource type. Hourly is an example of a UOM.
A project manager looks at a resource management plan and realizes that the project
manager can do some phases of the resource lifecycle in parallel. Which phases does the

manager creates a branch for certain tasks and then ends the branch with a final outcome.
When drafting the WBS, what terminology does the project manager assign to the
outcome? (Select all that apply.)
Element
Level
Work package
Leg - Element
Work package
Elements are the deliverables in a work breakdown structure (WBS). It is each box in a
chart and each row in a table. The WBS element is short, at just two or three words.
The work package element is the lowest in each branch or leg; an element without a child
element is a work package. Known as a "terminal element," a work package estimates
costs, resources, and timing.
A seasoned project manager prefers to manage projects in a linear and sequential
fashion. Which framework does the project manager use?
Waterfall
Agile
Kanban
Scrum - Waterfall
The waterfall is a linear, sequential project management framework. All work gets
completed in one phase before another phase starts. Work only flows one way in the
waterfall.
A seasoned project manager requires all team members to be available for a weekly
meeting. Participants are required to be present as the meeting occurs in real-time.
Following the meeting, a staff member will use a designated communication channel to
distribute meeting minutes. What communication methods are used in this scenario?
(Select all that apply.)
Synchronous
