,The following table shows the Level 1 work breakdown structure (WBS) for Project A.
WBS ID Description
0.0 Project A
1.0 Project started
2.0 Feasiblity
3.0 Design
4.0 Development
5.0 Manufacturing
6.0 Distribution
7.0 Project completed
Which approach did the project manager use to structure the WBS? - ANS Sequence of
project phases
For the following collapsed work breakdown structure (WBS) for Project O, the project manager
must complete the scope baseline. In addition to the WBS, the scope baseline will contain two
additional documents.
WBS ID Description
0.0 Project O
1.0 Project started
2.0 Feasibility

6.0 Distribution
7.0 Project completed
What are the other two documents that belong in the scope baseline? - ANS WBS dictionary
and project scope statement

, For the following collapsed work breakdown structure (WBS) for Project O, the project's
steering committee held a phase gate review of the Feasibility results. That review determined
that the project's proposed design would be obsolete before it would reach the marketplace.
WBS ID Description
0.0 Project O
1.0 Project started
2.0 Feasibility
3.0 Design
4.0 Development
5.0 Manufacturing
6.0 Distribution
7.0 Project completed
Which action should the project manager initiate? - ANS Terminating the project as soon as
possible and releasing the project's resources
A project is an operational necessity to repair a design flaw in the date field that constrains the
year number to two digits, instead of permitting the year to be indicated with four digits. If the
project is not completed before December 31, 1999, many legacy programs are expected to fail
or produce unpredictable outcomes. The marketing department wants to upgrade its existing
computer equipment and have the costs included in the budget for this project. The project
team implemented the marketing department's request without completing the formal change
control procedures.
What has happened to the scope baseline in this scenario? - ANS Scope creep has caused a
scope variance.
A general contractor is managing a highway construction project that will repair a flood-
damaged road. The project was documented in a cost-plus-incentive fee contract that specified
a completion date of June 30. The Department of Transportation has offered an incentive for
early completion of the repairs.
