Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam Practice – Question1724

The CPI on your project is 0.44, which means that you should______________


A. Place emphasis on improving the timeliness of the physical progress
B. Reassess the life-cycle costs of your product, including the length of the life-cycle phase
C. Place emphasis on improving the productivity by which work was being performed
D. Recognize that your original estimates were fundamentally flawed, and your project is in an atypical situation

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation:
CPI = EV/AC. It measures the efficiency of the physical progress accomplished compared to the baseline. A CPI of 0.44 means that for every dollar spent, you are only receiving 44 cents of progress. Therefore, something is not correct with how you planned your
project, or your original estimates were fundamentally flawed, and your project is in an atypical situation. You might want to reconsider a formal “replan” and/or take a new baseline of your project.
