At scheduled milestones or intervals during the project D. At the end of every project phase - ANSWER-176. Answer: A One of the most important things that you do as a project manager is to constantly monitor the project for changes, and take the appropriate action whenever you make a change. But changes don't happen on any sort of schedule—if they did, it would make project management a whole lot easier! That means you need to continuously monitor your project to figure out whether or not its plans and scope need to change. 177. Which of the following is NOT an output of Monitor & Control Project Work? A. Project management plan updates B. Change request status updates C. Change requests D. Project document updates - ANSWER-177. Answer: A This question is basically asking you the difference between Change Requests and Change Request Status Updates. Change Request Status Updates are outputs from Perform Integrated Change Control, not Monitor & Control Project Work. 178. You are the project manger of a software project.

Since you do want to get the project done quickly, you side with Bill B. Side with Alfredo; it could end up taking longer in the end C.
