What estimating technique will be used? - ANSWER -One-point
A project team is gathered together to begin the planning process to create a new
website for its client. Discussions have turned to website capacity. Some team
members believe the bandwidth of the site needs to be higher to avoid the website
freezing. Others believe the bandwidth is too high as it is right now. A finite
capacity needs to be determined to define the estimated time to complete this task.
What estimating technique will be used? - ANSWER -Three-point
The project team is determining the duration for upgrading the software on the app
used on its mobile devices. An experienced technician took 15 minutes to complete
the task. Two other new technicians will be assisting. They have performed a few
upgrades on mobile devices, desktop computers, and laptop computers, which took
one technician approximately 25 minutes and the other 20 minutes to upgrade.
Using three-point estimating, how many minutes will it take for each upgrade
performed? - ANSWER -25
The project team is determining the duration for upgrading the software on the app
used on its mobile devices. An experienced technician took 10 minutes to complete
the task. Two other new technicians will be assisting and have little experience in
software upgrades on mobile devices or desktop and laptop computers. One
technician took approximately 28 minutes, while the other technician took 31
minutes to complete the task.
,Using three-point estimation, how many minutes will it take for each upgrade
performed? - ANSWER -25
In the work breakdown structure given for a software development, which
component is the starting point for developing the project schedule? - ANSWER -
Determine data format
A company specializes in high quality home improvements and remodels. The
project for a living room consists of six primary tasks. As soon as the demolition is
completed, the floor installation and electrical work can begin. The cabinet
installers and painters may begin their work after the floor is installed. Finally, the
interior decorators can finish up the project after the paint has dried.
Which network diagram correctly represents this living room remodeling project? -
ANSWER -???
A project manager is working on a large two-year IT project. At the end of the
first year, the project is two months behind schedule because the interface
programming is taking longer than planned. The sponsor will not extend the
deadline or the budget but is willing to eliminate an interface.
Which schedule compression technique can the project manager use? - ANSWER -
Crashing
A project manager is working on a large two-year IT project. At the end of the
first year, the project is two months behind schedule because the interface
programming is taking longer than planned. The sponsor will not extend the
deadline or reduce the scope. The project manager decides to crash the schedule to
meet the project deadline.
What is the risk of this decision? - ANSWER -Reduced quality of deliverables
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? - ANSWER -
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 members. 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.
Which change management phase does this scenario describe? - ANSWER -
Reinforcing the change
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? - ANSWER -
Using a change management system to influence performance
A general contractor from Germany is managing a construction project in Norway
that will add a new conference room to an existing office building. The project
needs to collect requirements from the client prior to developing plans to build the
new conference room.
, Which two actions would prove useful to plan the project's quality? - ANSWER -
(1) Defining traceable and verifiable requirements that can be validated at project
closure (2) Establishing metrics that describe what to measure and how to measure
it
What is the purpose of the cost performance index (CPI)? - ANSWER -To
measure a project's cost efficiency
What is the purpose of the schedule performance index (SPI)? - ANSWER -To
determine a project's time efficiency
What is the purpose of cost variance (CV) analysis? - ANSWER -To determine if
a project is meeting budget expectations
What is the name for the closing task where all project activities are reviewed to
determine what went right and what went wrong? - ANSWER -Lessons learned
review
What is another name for the lessons learned review that is often used by the
military and other uniformed services? - ANSWER -After action report
The customer of a project validates that scope has been completed for the second
of three segments of the project.
Which closure practice does this describe? - ANSWER -Stage completion
The customer of a project validates that the project scope has been completed, all
invoices have been paid, and the expected benefits have been realized.
Which closure practice does this describe? - ANSWER -Deliverable completion
