The change control system that all changes should be formally documented. Undocumented change requests should not be processed or implemented. 1 is incorrect because the change may have been needed but the failure to follow the change control system prevents the change from entering the project scope. 2 is incorrect because there’s no mention of how much the change would cost the project. 3 is incorrect because there’s no mention of how much additional time the change would require.

The resource calendar controls when resources, such as project team members, consultants, and SMEs are available to work on the project. It takes into account vacations, other commitments within the organization, restrictions on contracted work, overtime issues, and so on. 1 is incorrect because the project calendar details when work is allowed on the project. 3 and 4 are incorrect because neither is a valid answer.

The project with a CPI of .89 is not doing too well. For every dollar the project spends it loses eleven cents. 1 is incorrect. The project is not performing well. 3 is incorrect. The project will likely finish over budget. 4 is incorrect. The probably won’t be in alignment with the cost baseline.

A project with a CPI of .98 has to spend one dollar for every 98 cents of work it receives. 1 is incorrect because there’s no evidence that the project is late. 2 is incorrect because the project is actually losing money with this CPI, not making it. 4 is also incorrect since a CPI of .98 does not mean the project is 98 percent complete.

A project with a CPI of .98 has to spend one dollar for every 98 cents worth of work it receives. 1 is incorrect. There is no evidence the project is late. 2 is incorrect. The project is actually losing money with this CPI, not making it. 4 is incorrect. A CPI of .98 does not mean the project is 98 percent complete.

The project sponsor issues the charter. The project charter is signed and issued by an entity in the organization that has the power to authorize the project manager to utilize the needed resources for the project to be successful. 1 is incorrect; the project manager doesn’t issue the project charter. The project manager doesn’t, in most cases, have authority over all of the resources (people, facilities, equipment) the project will need. 3 is incorrect; the customer may demand the project, but they don’t issue the charter. 4 is not a valid option. The project champion is a stakeholder that may be “cheering” the project onward, but often this person isn’t the project sponsor.

All project team members share the responsibility to enforce the rules. 1 is incorrect because this does not answer the question fully. The project manager may lead the enforcement, but the question asks who has the responsibility – and it’s the entire project team. 2 is incorrect because the project team has the responsibility. 4 is incorrect because the project team has the responsibility. It may, in some instances, be up to the project manager to escalate the issue through the project sponsor to human resources.

The customer determines the requirements for the project. After all, the project is completed for the customer. 1 is incorrect because the project manager does not determine the requirements, but instead manages the methods to achieve them. 2 is incorrect because the project sponsor does not set the requirements for the project. 3 is also incorrect. The performing organization’s management does not set the requirements for the project. Management may have input to the process, but ultimately the customer sets the requirements of the project.

3 is the best choice as weather is a typical example of an assumption. 1 is incorrect; this is an example of a time constraint. 2 is incorrect; this is an example of a cost constraint. 4 is incorrect; this is an external constraint.

Smoothing “smoothes” out the conflict by minimizing the perceived size of the problem. 1 is incorrect because this is an example of withdrawal. 2 is incorrect because this is an example of forcing. 4 is also incorrect because this is an example of compromising.

The project sponsor does ensure that the project manager has the necessary resources to complete the project. 1 is incorrect because the project sponsor does not manage with the project manager. 2 is incorrect because the project sponsor does not assign project team members to activities, the project manager does. 3 is also incorrect because a project manager has little to no authority in a functional environment.

This is a false statement about the Staffing Management Plan. The Quality Management Plan defines quality expectations. 1 is incorrect because this is a true statement about the Staffing Management Plan. 2 is incorrect because this is a true statement about the Staffing Management Plan. 3 is incorrect because this is a true statement about the Staffing Management Plan.

The WBS is the best tool for tracking project scope. 2 is incorrect because a network diagram illustrates the sequence of project activities. 3 is incorrect because QC involves methods to ensure the work meets the expected quality designed for the project. 4 is also incorrect. Risk event triggers are conditions that signal a risk event has occurred or is about to occur.

The predominant constraint on this project is cost, so cost control is the best answer. 1 is incorrect. While time is important, cost is the defined constraint. 3 is incorrect. Quality is always important, but quality is affected by the project’s cost constraint. 4 is also incorrect. Scope control is important to a project, but cost control is of higher importance based on the information that the question provides. While changes to the scope can affect cost, unacceptable work within the scope can also affect cost.

When Holly uses a previous project’s WBS to create the current project’s WBS she is using a template. 1 is incorrect because she is not estimating at this point in the project. 2 is incorrect because while this may be a loose example of historical information, WBS template answers the question more accurately. 3 is incorrect because this is not an example of poor project management.
