Read the first 7 Monitoring & Controlling Processes flashcards as text

  1. A project manager discovers that a deliverable was completed but never formally accepted by the customer. Which process was skipped?

    Answer: Validate Scope

    Validate Scope is the process of obtaining formal customer acceptance of completed deliverables; skipping it leaves acceptance undocumented.

  2. During a risk review, the project manager notes that a previously identified risk now has a higher probability due to a market change. What action is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Update the risk register and revisit the response plan

    An increase in probability requires updating the risk register and reassessing the risk response plan to ensure the response is still adequate.

  3. Which output of the Monitor and Control Project Work process provides information about future project performance based on current results?

    Answer: Work performance reports

    Work performance reports compile work performance information into physical or electronic documents and may include forecasts, status updates, and recommendations.

  4. A project is 50% complete. PV = $500,000, EV = $450,000, AC = $480,000. What is the Schedule Variance (SV)?

    Answer: -$50,000

    SV = EV - PV = $450,000 - $500,000 = -$50,000, indicating the project is behind schedule by $50,000 worth of work.

  5. A change control board (CCB) has denied a scope change request. What should the project manager do with the documentation?

    Answer: Archive the denied request as part of the project records

    All change requests, whether approved or denied, must be archived as part of the project's organizational process assets and documentation.

  6. Which of the following is an example of a corrective action in project monitoring and controlling?

    Answer: Adding extra resources to recover a schedule delay

    A corrective action is an intentional activity to realign project performance with the plan; adding resources to recover a schedule delay is a classic example.

  7. A project has a BAC of $1,000,000 and a CPI of 0.80 at the midpoint. Using the CPI-based EAC formula, what is the forecasted total cost?

    Answer: $1,250,000

    EAC = BAC / CPI = $1,000,000 / 0.80 = $1,250,000, forecasting the project will cost $1.25 million total.
