Although the stakeholders thought there was enough money in the budget, halfway through the project the cost performance index (CPI) is 0.7. To determine the root cause, several stakeholders audit the project and discover the project cost budget was estimated analogously. Although the activity estimates add up to the project estimate, the stakeholders think something was missing in how the estimate was campleted. Which of the following describes what was missing? A. Estimated costs should be used to measure CPI B. SPI should be used, not CPI C. Bottom-up estimating should have been used D. Past history was not taken into account
Earned value analysis is an example of A. Performance reporting B. Planning control C. Ishikawa diagrams D. Integrating the project components into a whole
The project manager is allocating overall cost estimates to individual activities to establish a baseline for measuring project performance. What process is this? A. Cost Management B. Estimate Costs C. Determine Budget D. Control Costs
A cost management plan contains a description of A. The project costs B. How resources are allocated C. The budgets and how they were calculated D. The WBS level at which earned value will be calculated
Monitoring cost expended to date in order to detect variances from the plan occurs during A. The creation of the cost change management plan B. Recommending corrective actions C. Updating the cost baseline D. Product performance reviews
Early in the life of your project, you are having a discussion with the sponsor about what estimating techniques should be used. You want a form of expert judgment, but the sponsor argues for analogous estimating. It would be BEST to A. Agree to analogous estimating, as it is a form of expert judgment B. Suggest life cyde costing as a compromise C. Determine why the sponsor wants such an accurate estimate D. Try to convince the sponsor to allow expert judgment because it is typically more accurate
You have just completed the initiating processes of a small project and are moving into the planning processes when a project stakeholder asks you for the projects budget and cost baseline. What should you tell her? A. The project budget can be found in the project's charter, which has just been completed B. The project budget and baseline will not be finalized and accepted until the planning processes are completed C. The project management plan will not contain the project's budget and baseline; this is a small project D. It is impossible to complete an estimate before the project management plan is created
A new store development project requires the purchase of various equipment, machinery, and furniture. The department responsible for the development recently centralized its external purchasing process and standardized its new order system. In which document can these new procedures be found? A. Project scope statement B. WBS C. Staffing management plan D. Organizational policies
Your cost forecast shows that you will have a cost overrun at the end of the project. Which of the following should you do? A. Eliminate risks in estimates and reestimate B. Meet with the sponsor to find out what work can be done sooner C. Cut quality D. Decrease scope
Your project has a medium amount of risk and is not very well defined. The sponsor hands you a project charter and asks you to confirm that the project can be completed within the project cost budget. What is the BEST method to handle this? A. Build the estimate in the form of a range of possible results B. Ask the team members to help estimate the cost based on the project charter C. Based on the information you have, calculate a parametric estimate D. Provide an analogous estimate based on past history.
