You are working with your project team to identify the project activities within your project.
Which of the following is NOT a tool and technique that will be useful in defining the project activities?

  1. Decomposition
  2. Rolling wave plan
  3. Precedence diagramming method
  4. Templates

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The precedence diagramming method is not a tool and technique that will be used during the activity definition process. Precedence diagramming method (PDM) is used in critical path methodology for building a project schedule network diagram that uses boxes or rectangles, referred to as nodes, to represent activities, and join each other with arrows that show the logical relationship that exists between them.The tools and techniques used in defining the activity process are as follows:

Decomposition: It is used to further divide the project work package into a more smaller and convenient form called activities.Rolling Wave Planning: It is a form of progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail and future work is planned at a higher level of WBS. Templates: It is an activity list or a part of the activity list taken from the previous project and used in a new project.
Expert Judgement: The skilled members in a project team or other experts who develop project scope statements can help provide knowledge in defining activities.



You are the project manager for your organization. You are managing a project to create new software for your clients. During the project execution, there have been some unforeseen delays that will require your attention. You will need four inputs to the control schedule process.
Which of the following documents would not be an input for the control schedule process?

  1. Project schedule
  2. Work performance information
  3. Project management plan
  4. Earned value management results

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The results of earned value management are not an input to the control schedule process. The fourth input is organizational process assets.
The inputs of schedule control process are as follows:

Project Management Plan
Project Schedule
Work Performance Integration
Organizational Process Assets

Answer option C is incorrect. The project management plan is an input to the control schedule process.

Answer option A is incorrect. The project schedule is an input to the control schedule process.
Answer option B is incorrect. The work performance information is an input to the control schedule process.



You work as a Project Manager for Dreams Unlimited Inc. You are looking for performance efficiencies of a project. The related key values are provided in the table below:
MeasurementsValues
BCWP (or EV)325
BCWS (or PV) 300
ACWP (or AC)410
What is the schedule variance (SV) of the project at the current point of time?

  1. +110
  2. -25
  3. -110
  4. +25

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the question, you are required to find out the schedule variance (SV) of the project. Schedule variance (SV) is a measure of schedule performance on a project. The variance notifies that the schedule is ahead or behind what was planned for this period in time. The schedule variance is calculated based on the following formula: SV = Earned Value (EV) - Planned Value (PV) If the resulting schedule is negative, it indicates that the project is behind schedule. A value greater than 0 shows that the project is ahead of the planned schedule. A value of 0 indicates that the project is right on target. Now, putting the provided values on the formula: SV = EV - PV = 325 - 300 = 25 As the value of SV (which is 25) is a positive number, it means that the project is ahead of the planned schedule.

What is BCWP (or EV)? Budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP) or Earned Value (EV) is the value of completed work. It is the budgeted amount for the work actually completed on the schedule activity during a given time period.

What is BCWS (or PV)? Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS) or Planned Value (PV) is the authorized budget assigned to the scheduled work to be accomplished for a schedule activity or Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) component.
What is ACWP (or AC)? Actual cost of work performed (ACWP) or Actual Cost (AC) is the total costs actually incurred and recorded in accomplishing work performed during a given time period for a schedule activity. It is the cost of the work to date, including direct and indirect costs. AC is money that has actually been expended to date.



You are the project manager of the NHQ project. You are working with your project team to create the project schedule and the project network diagram. In order to start the sequencing of the project activities, you will need a document to identify the result of project phases, key project deliverables, and significant, timeless events in the project.
Which of the following documents will you need to help sequence the project work?

  1. Activity attributes
  2. Activity list
  3. Project scope statement
  4. Milestone list

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The milestone list is needed as an input to the sequence activities process. Milestones are timeless events in the project schedule that are generally created as a result of phase completion.
What is a milestone list?
A milestone list provides a sequence of indicators about project progress to date and achievements or goals, which are to be achieved. The milestone list is used in project management as an indication of progress through the achievement of a major project accomplishment. It is a project document that is not part of the project management plan. The list contains all the project milestones along with information indicating whether they are mandatory to achieve or not.
Answer option B is incorrect. While the activity list is an input to activity sequencing, it is not a document that shows timeless events or the results of activity phases.
Answer option A is incorrect. Activity attributes describe the work, nature of the activity, and required resources for the activity.

Answer option C is incorrect. The project scope statement is an input to the activity sequence, but it does not define the end result of activity phases.
