PM - Chapter 5

The document that officially sanctions the project is the:

• Project charter

• Project plan

• Feasibility study

• Cost-benefit analysis

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

• Milestones

• Work packages

• Activities

• Constraints

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

• Poor work breakdown structure

• Poorly defined statement of work

• Lack of resources

• Lack of funding

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

• Schedule control

• Cost control

• Quality control

• Risk management

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

• $20K

• $30K

• $50K

• Cannot be determined

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

• $12K

• $13K

• $25K

• Cannot be determined

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

• $25K

• $66K

• $91K

• Cannot be determined

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

• 2 only

• 3 only

• 4 only

• 3 and 4

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

• Cost, schedule, and risk baselines

• Cost, schedule, and scope baselines

• Cost, risk, and quality baselines

• Schedule, risk, and quality baselines

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

• Better estimation of costs

• Better control

• Less likely that something will “fall through the cracks”

• All of the above
