ANSWERS

A project was authorized as an operational necessity to repair a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


design flaw in the date field on a computer system that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


constrains the year number to two digits instead of permitting
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the year to be indicated with four digits. During execution of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


activity concerned with identifying the affected software, five
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


relevant software modules were discovered that had not been
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


included in the scope baseline. The project team must adjust the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


baselines to include the omitted scope. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Which change management phase does this scenario describe?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




a) Preparing for the change
|\ |\ |\ |\




b) Managing the change
|\ |\ |\




c) Reinforcing the change
|\ |\ |\




d) Upgrading the change - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a) Preparing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


for the change
|\ |\




A general contractor is managing a highway construction project
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


that will repair a flood-damaged road. The Department of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Transportation offered an incentive fee if the repairs are |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


completed early. Therefore, the project manager has established
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


a rewards and recognition program and has communicated this
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


program to the project team member. The project's recognition
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,program will reward project team members who add value by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


accelerating the project while maintaining its ability to deliver the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


completed scope correctly.

A general contractor is managing a construction project that will
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


add a new conference room to an existing office building. The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


project was documented in a fixed-price contract that specified a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


completion date. The contract includes a damages clause |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


imposing a late completion penalty if the conference room is not
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


ready for use by the due date. One month into the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


implementation, the customer wants to modify the room's |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


lighting equipment. The requested change will delay the project's
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


critical path by three months.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Which process should be used to maintain the existing baseline?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




a) Using a change management system to influence performance
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




b) Absorbing the change request in the baselines for time and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cost
c) Focusing on the original scope
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,d) Using the risk management system to process change
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


requests - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a) Using a change

management system to influence performance |\ |\ |\ |\




A general contractor from Germany is managing a construction
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
