Which action should the project manager initiate? - Answer Terminating the project as soon

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? - Answer 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.
Which triple-constraint baseline remains unchanged by the effects of the incentive? - Answer
Scope
In Project A, the contract specifies that time is very important. All of the scope must be
completed, or the project will fail. The project's objective requires the project team to work as
quickly as possible.
Which triple constraint can be adjusted to permit the project team to work as quickly as
possible? - Answer Cost
In Project B, all of the scope must be completed, or the project will fail. The work is important
but not urgent.
Which triple constraint can be adjusted if the project's objective requires the project team to
work at the lowest possible cost? - Answer Time
A project manager is discussing the latest financial reports of a project to construct a grocery
store and is approximately 90% into the planning phase. The project manager has been told by a
project team member that other grocery stores in the area have an automated teller machine
(ATM) for visitors. An ATM has not been discussed or incorporated into the planning of this
project nor have any been incorporated into prior grocery store services. The leader calls for the
immediate addition of an ATM into all prior grocery stores.
