Correct Answer: B

The Project Closure phase occurs after the Production phase. During this phase, the project is

"closed"(not A)from an administrative and contractual standpoint. This includes making sure that the

projectwork(not E)products are complete and meet the customer's expectations(not D); gaining final

acceptance; andsecuring all documents for reuse, collection and retention.

Note:

The Manage focus area is organized into 13 processes:

Bid Transition

Scope Management

Financial Management

Work Management

Risk Management

Issue and Problem Management

Staff Management

Communication Management

Quality Management

Configuration Management

Infrastructure Management

Procurement Management

Organizational Change Management

Collectively, these processes form a comprehensive set of tasks required to manage Oracle- based development and implementation projects. Every project includes most, if not all, of these processes, whether they are the responsibility of a consulting organization, a client organization, or a third party.

Correct Answer: CDE

*More Cost Effective ?OUM facilitates improved control of project expenses by using a flexible work breakdown structure that allows you to perform only necessary tasks.

Note:The Oracle Unified Method (OUM) is Oracle's standards-based method that enables the entire Enterprise Information Technology (IT) lifecycle. OUM provides an implementation approach that is rapid, broadly adaptive, and business-focused. OUM includes a comprehensive project and program management framework and materials to support Oracle's growing focus on enterprise-level IT strategy, architecture, and governance. Oracle's Global Methods team has packaged OUM to accelerate your IT projects. OUM presents an organized, yet flexible, approach. Its defined, operational framework helps anticipate critical project needs and dependencies. With OUM, you can move efficiently through the IT lifecycle to quickly achieve measurable business results.

Correct Answer: DEF

Project management enables the project manager to manage delivery of an agreed upon level of solution quality while planning for and controlling the scope, cost, and schedule. The Manage focus area has three phases: Project Start Up Phase Project Execution and Control Phase Project Closure Phase

Correct Answer: AB

AB (not C):During each iteration, the current Iteration Plan is adjusted. Subsequent Iteration Plan is

created prior to the iteration beginning.

Note:

*there are two plans active in the project at any given time ?the implementation plan and the iteration plan.

Correct Answer: B

In OUM, this principle is extended to refer to the execution of the method processes themselves. Project managers and practitioners are encouraged to scale OUM to be fit-for- purpose for a given situation. It is rarely appropriate to execute every activity within OUM. OUM provides guidance for determining the core set of activities to be executed, the level of detail targeted in those activities and their associated tasks, and the frequency and type of end user deliverables. The project workplan should be developed from this core. The plan should then be scaled up, rather than tailored down, to the level of discipline appropriate to the identified risks and requirements.

Note: *To develop our Project Workplan, we have several options. We can employ a top-down approach and start with all of OUM and tailor it down. We can employ a bottom-up approach and start with the Core Workflow and build up from there. The best approach is probably to start with the workplan that most closely matches our engagement and tailor up and down. That is, immediately tailor down to a pre-tailored Workplan and continue to tailor from there based on the requirements of the engagement, while simultaneously keeping in mind the Core Workflow and building up from there.

*tailoring of the actual OUM Project Workplan for your project for activities and tasks (tailoring steps 2.0 through 5.2) including tips for applying a bottom-up as well as a top-down technique for tailoring the Project Workplan. For our example, we are starting with the OUM Project Workplan that is located in the Method Resources section of the Key Components of most view pages. In OUM 5.6, a new Project Workplan template was introduced with pre-tailoring capability for most Implement views.

Correct Answer: BCE

Note: *The Oracle Unified Method (OUM), first released by Oracle Corporation in 2006, is a standards- based method with roots in the Unified Process (UP). OUM is business-process and use-case driven and includes support for the Unified Modeling Language (UML), though the use of UML is not required. OUM combines these standards with aspects of Oracle's legacy methods and Oracle implementation best practices.

* Oracle Legacy method retirement dates include: Oracle AIM for Business Flows, January 2011

Correct Answer: A

The creation of the PMP is started with the Project Management Framework in the task BT.070 ?Create Project Management Framework, which is part of the OUM Manage Focus Area's Project Startup Phase. The project manager creates the Project Management Framework, along with the project sponsor and other stakeholders. At this point in the project, the Project Management Framework represents the PMP at the strategic level. In fact, the Project Management Framework can be thought of as the initial or high-level version of the PMP.
