Correct Answer: B

Rolling wave planning is a technique to plan and do the most imminent project work before moving onto the details that are far off in the project schedule and project plan. Rolling wave planning is a technique for performing progressive

elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near future is planned in detail at a low level of the work breakdown structure. The work to be performed within another one or two reporting periods in the near future is planned

in detail as work is being completed during the current period.

Answer option D is incorrect. Decomposition is the process of breaking down work packages into the activity list.

Answer options A and C are incorrect. These are not valid project management terms.

Correct Answer: D

The schedule baseline is a required component of the project management plan. Project management plan is a formal, agreed document that defines how the project is executed, monitored and controlled. It may be summary or detailed and may be composed of one or more subsidiary management plans and other planning documents. The objective of a project management plan is to define the approach to be used by the project team to deliver the intended project management scope of the project. The project manager creates the project management plan with the inputs from the project team and key stakeholders. The plan should be agreed and approved by at least the project team and its key stakeholders. Answer option C is incorrect. The schedule baseline is not a project objective. Answer option A is incorrect. The project calendar defines when the project will take place. Answer option B is incorrect. Project constraints are restrictions imposed on the project, such as time, cost, and scope.

Correct Answer: C

In severe cases, new schedule duration estimates with new forecasted start and finish dates are needed. In these instances, it is an example of using the control schedule process. 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 option B is incorrect. The activity resources would only address the addition or replacement of resources needed to complete the project work.

Answer option A is incorrect. This is a tempting choice, but according to the PMBOK, new schedules are part of the control schedule process.

Answer option D is incorrect. Develop schedule is not the best choice for this question. It is a process of analyzing activity sequences, durations, resource requirements, and schedule constraints to create the project schedule.

Correct Answer: C

The rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate is used early in the project when there is not much information available to create a time estimate. Rough order of magnitude estimates can have a range of variance as large as -25% to +75 percent. While ROM is mostly used with cost estimates, it can be used with time estimates too. Rough order of magnitude (ROM), also known as ball park estimate, is a rough approximation, made with a degree of knowledge and confidence that the estimated figure falls within a reasonable range of values. ROM range can vary from half to twice (-50 to +100) the actual cost. Answer option B is incorrect. Broad estimate is not a valid time estimating type. Answer option D is incorrect. Expert judgment is what the project manager used in this scenario to create the time estimate, but it is not a time estimating type. Answer option A is incorrect. An analogous estimate is based on historical information from a similar project. For example, Project A took 8 months to complete and Project B, while similar but larger, will take 10 months to complete.

Correct Answer: B

All scope changes should also be updated in the project scope baseline. The scope baseline is the project scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and the WBS dictionary. Answer option D is incorrect. If the changes affect cost then the cost baseline would also be updated. The question did not indicate that therbe would a change in the project cost. Answer option C is incorrect. Quality control does not change. It always reflects the demands of the project scope. Answer option A is incorrect. The project final report evaluates the success and failures of the project scope.

Correct Answer: B

If a resource leveling heuristic, such as 45 hours maximum per time period, is enforced on the project, then the project schedule will take longer to complete. What is resource leveling heuristics? Resource leveling heuristics is a prioritization method that allocates inadequate resources to critical path activities first. It is a schedule network analysis technique useful to a schedule that has already been analyzed by the critical path method. It is used when shared or critical essential resources are only available at certain times, in limited quantities, or to keep resource usage at a constant level. It is a technique that resolves resource conflicts by delaying tasks within their slack allowances. Resource leveling is the process in which project teams come across problems when developing their project schedules. If a company has multiple projects running simultaneously that require the same resources, then problems can arise. It can often cause the critical path method to change. Answer option A is incorrect. The 45-hour limit is a restriction on the project. Answer option C is incorrect. The project will not take less time to complete because the project team members won't be able to complete as much work in the same amount of time. Answer option D is incorrect. The project may require more resources if the project manager and management want the project to finish by a particular date. In this question, however, the focus is on what will happen to the project schedule, not the project staffing.

Correct Answer: B

Quality control activities are not included in the performance report, but are documented in the quality management plan. A performance report is made by the project team detailing activities, milestones, problems, accomplishments, and

identified issues. Performance reports are used to report some key information as follows: Current status Scheduled activities Significant accomplishment for the period Forecasts Issues

Answer option C is incorrect. Analysis of past performance can be included in the performance report to make the report more elaborate.

Answer option A is incorrect. Current status of risk and issues can be included in the performance report. Answer option D is incorrect. Work to be completed next can be included in the performance report.

Correct Answer: B

Report performance is a project process that collects and distributes information on the project work. Answer option C is incorrect. Earned value management may be used as the tool and technique for determining project performance.

Answer option D is incorrect. Monitor and control project performance is not a project process so this choice is not valid.

Answer option A is incorrect. Corrective action is a response to project performance to bring the project back into alignment with expectations.

Correct Answer: B

The limit on each work is an organizational policy for each project. Policies, rules, and organizational requirements are the enterprise environmental factors.

Answer option D is incorrect. Organizational process assets are things that have been created for the project manager, such as software, templates, guidelines, and other resources that will assist the project manager in completing the

project.

Answer option C is incorrect. While this could be a resource limitation, it is not a valid project management term. Resource leveling heuristics or a project constraint would have been acceptable answers. Answer option A is incorrect. Expert

judgment happens, when the project manager relies on someone with more knowledge on a topic to help the project manager make the best project decision.
