QUESTION: 21

A project manager providing information to the right audience, in the right format, at the right time is an example of which type of communication?

Efficient
Effective
Push
Pull

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

On most projects, communication planning is performed very early, such as during project management plan development. This allows appropriate resources, such as time and budget, to be allocated to communication activities.
Effective communication means that the information is provided in the right format, at the right time, to the right audience, and with the right impact. Efficient communication means providing only the information that is needed.

Performance measurement baseline.
Analysis of project forecasts.
Summary of changes approved in a period.

QUESTION: 23

A project in which the scope, time, and cost of delivery are determined as early as possible is following a life cycle that is:

Adaptive
Predictive
Incremental
Iterative

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

2.4.2.2 Predictive Life Cycles
Predictive life cycles (also known as fully plan-driven) are ones in which the project scope, and the time and cost required to deliver that scope, are determined as early in the project life cycle as practically possible. As shown in Figure 2-13, these projects proceed through a series of sequential or overlapping phases, with each phase generally focusing on a subset of project activities and project management processes. The work performed in each phase is usually different in nature to that in the preceding and subsequent phases, therefore, the makeup and skills required of the project team may vary from phase to phase.
