WGU Project Management C722: Insights into Unit 8, Module 30
What occurs when the project team integrates enhancements to the scope without proper evaluation
and approval?
a. Project compression
b. Scope creep
c. Resource reassignment
d. Project failure - correct answer ✔✔b. scope creep
When a project team integrates enhancements without proper evaluation and approval, scope creep
occurs.
A project manager is monitoring the project schedule and has already compared WBS activities to the
schedule baseline. What should the project manager do next?
a. Revise the baseline scope
b. Implement schedule changes
c. Analyze variances - correct answer ✔✔c. Analyze variences
The process of monitoring a project schedule involves comparing WBS activities to the schedule
baseline, analyzing variances, and then proposing changes to the schedule or plan.
____________ may be caused by errors in estimating the activity durations.
a. work performance data
b. variances
c. baseline scope - correct answer ✔✔b. variances
, Variances may be caused by errors in estimating the activity durations.
True or False:
Project scope is fixed at the conclusion of the project planning phase. - correct answer ✔✔False:Project
scope is baselined at the conclusion of the project planning phase.
What is the process of assessing the work completed called?
a. Scope creep
b. Earned Value Analysis (EVA)
c. Risk management
d. Baselining - correct answer ✔✔b. Earned Value Analysis (EVA)
EVA is the process of assessing the work completed. Using EVA allows the project manager to compare
the actual WBS work activities completed to the actual expenditures.
True or False:
A project manager should change the baseline scope whenever project enhancements are approved and
implemented. - correct answer ✔✔False: Whenever enhancements or decreases are necessary or
proposed, they must be fully documented, evaluated, and approved before implementation. However,
the baseline scope will not be changed.
When monitoring project costs, a project manager should compare ________ to ________.
a. actual costs; cash flow
b. actual costs; the calendarized budget
