The project scope statement addresses and documents all the following items EXCEPT______________
A. Project exclusions B. The relationship between the deliverables and the business need C. Product scope description D. Project management methodology (PMM)
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation:
The PMM is an organization-approved approach for project management that is used on every project. It is not part of the project scope statement, which describes the project scope, major deliverables, assumptions, and constraints. It describes the project’s
deliverables and the work required to complete them.
Collecting requirements is critical in project scope management as it becomes the foundation for the project's______________
A. Scope management plan B. WBS C. Schedule D. Scope change control system
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation:
Collecting requirements provides the basis for defining project scope and product scope. It also involves determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs to meet project objectives. The requirements become the foundation for the WBS; moreover,
cost, schedule, and quality planning are built upon the requirements.
Rather than use a WBS, your team developed a bill of materials to define the project's work components. A customer review of this document uncovered that a scope change was needed, because a deliverable had not been defined, and a change request was
written subsequently. This is an example of a change request that was the result of______________
A. An external event B. An error or omission in defining the scope of the product C. A value-adding change D. An error or omission in defining the scope of the project
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation:
The bill of materials provides a hierarchical view of the physical assemblies, subassemblies, and components needed to build a manufactured product, whereas the WBS is a deliverable-oriented grouping of project components used to define the total scope of
the project, providing a structured vision of what has to be delivered. Using a bill of materials where a WBS would be more appropriate may result in an ill-defined scope and subsequent change requests.
