  1. A project manager uses a control account to integrate scope, schedule, and cost. Which technique does this support?

    Answer: Earned value management

    Control accounts are the management control points where scope, budget, and schedule are integrated and EVM performance is measured.

  2. A sponsor requests adding a feature after the scope baseline is approved. The project manager evaluates the request and approves it informally to keep the sponsor happy. This is an example of:

    Scope creep is the uncontrolled expansion of project scope without going through formal change control processes.

  3. When collecting requirements for a system with many users across departments, which technique BEST captures the current state and desired improvements?

    A context diagram visually shows the product scope by depicting a business system and how people and other systems interact with it.

  4. What distinguishes a work package from a planning package in the WBS?

    Answer: Work packages have detailed activities that can be scheduled and costed

    Work packages are the lowest-level WBS components with sufficient detail to plan, schedule, estimate, monitor, and control the work.

  5. A project manager is preparing the scope management plan. Which input is MOST essential to this process?

    Answer: Project charter

    The project charter provides high-level project description and requirements that form the basis for developing the scope management plan.

  6. During scope validation a deliverable is accepted with conditions. How should the project manager document this?

    Answer: Document the conditions in the issue log and create change requests as needed

    Conditional acceptance should be documented in the issue log and any required changes processed through formal change control.

  7. Which of the following BEST describes product scope?

    Answer: The features and functions that characterize a product

    Product scope describes the features and functions that characterize the product, service, or result of the project.
