PMI-SP Baseline Management 2

Question 1

A project manager discovers that 15 approved change requests were never incorporated into the schedule baseline. What should be done first?

Accepted Answer

Update the schedule baseline to reflect all approved changes and reissue it

Answer

The schedule baseline must be updated to incorporate all approved changes to accurately reflect authorized scope, cost, and time.

Question 2

Which document formally records the original approved schedule baseline along with all subsequent approved changes?

Accepted Answer

Schedule baseline with change log

Answer

The schedule baseline combined with a change log provides a complete historical record of the original plan and all authorized modifications.

Question 3

During a baseline review, a scheduler finds that a critical path activity has no float. What does this indicate about baseline management?

Accepted Answer

Any delay to that activity will directly delay the project end date

Answer

Zero float on the critical path means any delay in that activity propagates directly to the project finish date with no buffer.

Question 4

A PMI-SP practitioner is asked to explain the difference between a schedule baseline and the current schedule. Which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

The baseline is the approved plan; the current schedule reflects actual progress and forecasts

Answer

The schedule baseline is the fixed approved plan used for comparison, while the current schedule is updated to reflect actual progress and revised forecasts.

Question 5

When a baseline change is approved, which stakeholders must be formally notified according to best practice?

Accepted Answer

All stakeholders affected by the change, including the CCB

Answer

All stakeholders affected by a baseline change, including the Change Control Board, must be formally notified to ensure alignment and prevent unauthorized work.
