QUESTION: 14

Mark is the project manager of the GHQ Project. He is happily reporting that his project has a schedule performance index of 2.12. Management, however, does not think this is good news.
What is the most likely reason why management does not like an SPI of 2.12?

It is not good news because a larger number means the schedule duration estimates were likely to be wrong to begin with.
They likely do not understand the SPI formula.
It is not good news, as the number should be closer to 100 than 0.
It is good news, but Mark may have large cost variances to achieve this value.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Cost and schedule performance indexes should be as close to 1 as possible. A larger value, such as 2.12, means that the schedule duration estimates were likely bloated or incorrect to begin with.
Answer option B is incorrect. This is not the best choice for this question.
Answer option C is incorrect. The number should not be close to 100; it should be close to 1.
Answer option D is incorrect. While Mark may have crashed the schedule and driven up costs to achieve the SPI value, a more likely reason is that the time estimates were bloated.

QUESTION: 15

You are the project manager of the BHG Project. You are creating a network diagram as shown in the figure:

Mary, a project team member, reports that an identified risk is likely to happen in the project that will affect the completion date of Activity D . She reports that the risk event will likely cause the duration of the activity to increase by six days. If this happens what is the earliest the project can complete?

32 days
29 days
27 days
26 days

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

If Activity D increases by six days, the duration of the project will not change. There is 11 days of float available for Activity D so it may delay by six days without affecting the project end date.
What is float? Float or total float (TF) is the total amount of time that a schedule activity may be delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date, or violating a schedule constraint. It is calculated by using the critical path method technique and determining the difference between the early finish dates and late finish dates. Answer options A, B, and C are incorrect. These are not valid answers for the question.

QUESTION: 16

Sam is the project manager of the NQQ project. He and the project team have completed the stakeholder identification process for his project.
What is the main output of the identify stakeholders process?

Communications management plan
Stakeholder register
Requirements
Stakeholder management strategy

The information in this document can be very perceptive and is meant for limited exchange only. It also contains relevant information about the stakeholders, such as their requirements, expectations, and influence on the project.
Answer option A is incorrect. The communications management plan is an output of communications planning.
Answer option D is incorrect. The stakeholder management strategy is an output of stakeholder identification, but it is not the main output.
Answer option C is incorrect. Requirements are not an output of the stakeholder identification process.
