PM - Lesson 5

The document that officially sanctions the project is the:

• A. Project charter

• B. Project plan

• C. Feasibility study

• D. Cost-benefit analysis

The work breakdown structure “control points” for the management of a project are the:

• A. Milestones

• B. Work packages

• C. Activities

• D. Constraints

One of the most common reasons why projects undergo scope changes is:

• A. Poor work breakdown structure

• B. Poorly defined statement of work

• C. Lack of resources

• D. Lack of funding

Which of the following generally cannot be validated using a work breakdown structure?

• A. Schedule control

• B. Cost control

• C. Quality control

• D. Risk management

With the work breakdown structure (WBS) shown on the right, the cost of WBS element 1.2.2.0 is:

• A. $20K

• B. $30K

• C. $50K

• D. Cannot be determined

With the work breakdown structure (WBS) shown on the right, the cost of WBS element 1.1.1 is:

• A. $12K

• B. $13K

• C. $25K

• D. Cannot be determined

With the work breakdown structure (WBS) shown on the right, the cost of the entire program (1.00.00) is:

• A. $25K

• B. $66K

• C. $91K

• D. Cannot be determined

With the work breakdown structure (WBS) shown on the right, the work packages in the WBS are at WBS level(s):

• A. 2 only

• B. 3 only

• C. 4 only

• D. 3 and 4

The performance measurement baseline is most often composed of three baselines:

• A. Cost, schedule, and risk baselines

• B. Cost, schedule, and scope baselines

• C. Cost, risk, and quality baselines

• D. Schedule, risk, and quality baselines

Which of the following is (are) the benefit(s) of developing a WBS to low levels?

• A. Better estimation of costs

• B. Better control

• C. Less likely that something will “fall through the cracks"

• D. All of the above
