1. What is a root cause analysis used for?
Root cause analysis is a systematic method used to identify the fundamental underlying cause of a problem, enabling solutions that prevent recurrence rather than just treating symptoms.
2. An EAC calculated as BAC divided by CPI assumes:
EAC = BAC / CPI projects that future performance will continue at the same efficiency rate as achieved to date.
3. Which approach best describes the integration of theory and practice in this profession?
Effective professional practice involves applying theoretical foundations to real-world situations while adapting approaches to specific contexts and needs.
4. What is the first phase of strategic planning?
Strategic planning begins with analyzing the current environment, including internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis).
5. A project has CPI = 0.75 and BAC = $400,000. Using EAC = BAC / CPI, what is the EAC?
EAC = BAC / CPI = $400,000 / 0.75 = $533,333, reflecting that every budgeted dollar is only generating $0.75 of earned value.
