In the project time management knowledge area, there are six processes. According to the PMBOK, which project time knowledge area will have the majority of the effort?

  1. Estimate activity resources
  2. Define activities
  3. Control schedule
  4. Develop schedule

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Of all six processes, the control schedule process will take the majority of the time in the project time management knowledge area.
Control schedule process is a method of monitoring the status of the project to update project progress and deal with the changes to the
schedule baseline. It is concerned with:
Determining the current status of the project
Influencing the factors that create schedule changes
Determining that the project schedule has changed
Managing the actual changes as they occur
Control schedule is a component of the Perform Integration Change Control process. Answer options B, A, and D are incorrect. These processes will not take the longest to complete.



Nancy is the project manager of a project with 78 stakeholders. This is a high-profile project and she needs to express to her project team and to the management the importance of communication in this project. She would like to show the number of stakeholder communication channels in the project. Based on this information how many communication channels exist within this project?

  1. 78
  2. 156
  3. 3,003
  4. 6,084

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Communication channels are paths of communication with stakeholders in a project. The number of communication channels shows the complexity of a project's communication and can be derived through the formula shown below:
Total Number of Communication Channels = n (n-1)/2
where, n is the number of stakeholders. Hence, a project having five stakeholders will have ten communication channels. Putting the number

of stakeholders in the formula we can get the required communication channel for the project. It is (78 x 77)/2 for 3,003 communication
channels.
Answer options A, B, and D are incorrect. These numbers do not reflect the accurate number of communication channels in the project.



You are the project manager for your organization. You and the project team are developing the project schedule for your current project. This project management process will create four outputs.
Which of the following is an output of the Develop Schedule process?

  1. Work performance information
  2. Schedule baseline
  3. Resource calendars
  4. Activity duration estimates

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The schedule baseline is the only output of the develop schedule process among these answers. The three other outputs of the Develop
Schedule Process are: project schedule, schedule data, and project document updates.
Answer option D is incorrect. Activity duration estimates are an output of the Estimate Activity Duration process.

Answer option A is incorrect. Work performance information is an input of the Control Schedule process.

Answer option C is incorrect. Resource calendars are an input to the Develop Schedule process.



You are the project manager of the NDF project. You need to determine how often a complete project report can be made, including forecasted project completion information for your project.
How often should the report be created?

  1. Weekly
  2. One per status milestone reached
  3. Regularly or on an exception basis
  4. Exception-by-exception basis

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Performance reports should be created regularly or on an exception basis. A performance report tracks the performance of the program/project team members. A template can be created that tracks performance, such as work results, schedule, costs, and other factors. The performance report must include both the positive and negative performance for the staff.
Answer option A is incorrect. Weekly may be appropriate for many projects, but it does not include the opportunity to create a report by exception.

Answer option D is incorrect. Regular reporting is also needed or at least, an option for the project manager.
Answer option B is incorrect. This is not a valid answer as milestones will vary per project and does not offer an opportunity for exceptions reporting.
