QUESTION: 183

You are the project manager for your organization. You have been recording the actual results of activity duration for your project. Many of the results are late and this is causing your project to be late on reaching its milestones.
What tool and technique can you use as a part of controlling the schedule to help you review various scenarios to bring the schedule into alignment with the plan?

What-if scenario analysis
Root cause analysis
Schedule analysis
Resource leveling

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Of all the choices, the what-if scenario analysis allows you to determine the best approach to bring the schedule back into alignment with the
project plan.
What-if scenario analysis explains the analysis of the question "What if the situation represented by scenario 'X' happens?". This What-If
Scenario Analysis shortly named as WISA. A schedule network analysis is performed using the schedule to compute the different scenarios, such as extending specific engineering durations, or delaying a major component delivery.
Businesses use what-if scenarios to determine the effect different costs or investments have on profit and other financial indicators.
Answer option D is incorrect. Resource leveling can cause your project's duration to increase.
Answer option C is incorrect. Schedule analysis is the review of the schedule, but does not examine other possibilities for completing the project work.

QUESTION: 184

You are the project manager of a software development project. Your project team will be creating a web-based software application that will allow your company's customers to browse your website, search inventory, and place orders among other things. Your project team will, on a regular basis, need to update their computer virus prevention software, update their operating systems, and perform other maintenance on their computers in order to complete the project. This maintenance work is not directly tied to the project deliverables, but it is needed in order for the project to be completed.
What term best describes this maintenance work?

Project management overhead
Discrete effort
Level of effort
Cost of conformance to quality

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The level of effort term describes the ongoing maintenance associated with the project work, but not a contribution to the deliverables of the project work.
Level of Effort (LOE) is a project activity which must be done to support other work activities or the entire project effort. It usually consists of short amounts of work which must be repeated periodically. LOE is used to define the amount of work performance within a period of time and
is measured in man days or man hours per day/week/month.

Answer option B is incorrect. Discrete effort describes the activities that can be linked directly to the project work packages.

Answer option A is incorrect. Project management overhead is an example of apportioned effort.
Answer option D is incorrect. The cost of conformance to quality describes the dues, such as the subscription for the anti-virus software that must be spent, so the project can reach its objectives.
