Forming - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔In this stage, team members

comfortable working together and openly and willingly sharing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
information.
Performing - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Team members are fully
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
comfortable working together. Trust has been developed. Working
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
relationships have jelled. Work is being conducted and project
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
progress is occurring. |\ |\
Adjourning - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔This only occurs when all the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
team's work has been completed and the team is no longer
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
required. This may occur at any time in the project life cycle.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Co-located Teams - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔involves team |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
members physically working at the same location or holding
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
project meetings together in a common setup.

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
members interact primarily through electronic communications.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Members of a virtual team may be within the same building or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

Two common situations occur that may prompt a change to the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
baseline scope - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The scope may be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
expanded to include additional functionality or the scope may be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
diminished due to changes in the project environment such as
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reduced funding or requirements or changing time/due date.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,Scope creep - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔occurs when the project
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
team integrates enhancements to the scope without proper
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evaluation and approval. |\ |\
work performance data - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔will identify the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
work activities that are completed, partially completed, or not
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
started.
risk register - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is a list of potential risks,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
how the risks will be monitored, and what action will be taken
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
should the risk event occur. |\ |\ |\ |\
corrective action - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is a document issued
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to identify quality failures and how they will be corrected. The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
deliverable itself may need to be reworked and the project plan
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
may need to be revised to ensure that future deliverables do not
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
include the same error. |\ |\ |\
The Four Categories of Change - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Contingency plans, improvement changes, external events, |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
scope change |\
The change management system - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
place to formally identify, evaluate, decide, and communicate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
project changes. |\
Recording - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is the process of |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

, Reporting - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is a key nonverbal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
communications methodology used to inform and to document |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

progress, Issues including red light (critical) problems needing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
immediate resolution, yellow light items that are warning flags,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and resolved issues, Current accomplishments, Future plans for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the next month, Resource utilization and plans
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Monthly Financial Report - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔showing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
progress against the budget quantifying monies spent and

|\ |\
Change management reporting - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔showing
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
changes identified, requiring approval, and resolution.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Project controls - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔are the data gathering,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
