What are the five phases of project management?
Answer: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, Closing
The five process groups defined by PMI provide a standard framework for managing projects from start to finish.
What is a critical path in project management?
Answer: The longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines project duration
The critical path identifies the sequence of tasks that directly affects the project completion date — any delay on these tasks delays the entire project.
What is the purpose of a work breakdown structure (WBS)?
Answer: To decompose the project into smaller, manageable work packages
A WBS hierarchically breaks down the total scope of work into smaller, defined deliverables that can be planned and managed.
What is scope creep?
Answer: Uncontrolled expansion of project scope without corresponding adjustments
Scope creep occurs when additional requirements are added without adjusting timeline, budget, or resources, potentially jeopardizing the project.
Why is stakeholder management important in projects?
Answer: Because stakeholder support and engagement are critical to project success
Identifying and managing stakeholder expectations helps ensure support, resources, and alignment with project goals.
What is the triple constraint in project management?
Answer: Scope, time, and cost — changes to one affect the others
