• Scope management plan

• Work breakdown structure

• Cost management plan

• WBS dictionary

• Stakeholder Analysis

An input to define scope process is:

• Decomposition

• Project charter

• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

• Contract

• Financial control procedure

• Issue and defect management database

• Historical information  and lesson learned  from previous  phases or project

• Risk control procedure

The following is true about WBS:

• The WBS is another term for Gantt (Bar) chart

• The WBS shows only  critical  path activities

• Work not in WBS is usually defined  in the scope management  of the project

• Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed description  of the project  deliverables.

All of the following are activities included in decomposition except

• Organizing the WBS

• Decomposing the upper WBS levels into lower level detailed components

• Defining project phases

• Developing and assigning  identification codes to WBS components

Do cost-benefit analysis and then make sure to inform sponsor  about the project scope change.

• Refuse to consider  the change because it will affect  the baseline

• Tell the team to make  change because  it will result  in low cost.

• Decline to make changes until  a change request  is  made and change control is performed.

Which of the following is not an output of the Control Scope Process?

• Accepted deliverables

• Project document updates

• Change requests
