Read the first 7 CSPM Project Integration & Scope Management flashcards as text

  1. Which of the following is an example of scope creep?

    Answer: A developer adds a reporting dashboard that was not in the approved scope without notifying the PM

    Scope creep is the uncontrolled expansion of project scope without proper authorization or change control.

  2. The 100% rule in WBS development means:

    Answer: The WBS must capture 100% of the work defined in the project scope

    The 100% rule states the WBS must include all work—and only the work—needed to complete the project scope, with nothing omitted or added.

  3. What is the BEST way to prevent scope creep on a large software project?

    Answer: Establish a robust change control process and clearly baseline the scope

    A formal change control process with a clear scope baseline is the most effective preventive measure against scope creep.

  4. A PM is developing the project management plan and realizes the risk management plan conflicts with the procurement management plan. This is BEST resolved by:

    Answer: Performing integrated change control to align the subsidiary plans

    Integrated change control ensures all subsidiary plans remain consistent with each other and the overall project management plan.

  5. Which output of Collect Requirements directly feeds into the Define Scope process?

    Answer: Requirements documentation

    Requirements documentation, produced during Collect Requirements, serves as a key input to Define Scope for creating the project scope statement.

  6. During scope control, a variance analysis shows the project has delivered 10% more functionality than planned. The PM should:

    Answer: Investigate whether the extra work was authorized and submit corrective actions if not

    Positive scope variances still require investigation—unauthorized extra functionality consumes budget and may cause issues in later phases.

  7. The project charter is formally authorized by:

    Answer: An entity external to the project, such as a sponsor or senior management

    The project charter must be authorized by someone with sufficient authority outside the project—typically the project sponsor or senior management.
