73.Which of the following best describes product analysis?

A. Working with the customer to determine the product description

B. Gaining a better understanding of the product of the project in order to create the
project scope statement
C. Determining whether the quality standards on the project can be met
D. Mathematically analyzing the quality desired for the project
74.Being prepared to do a complete job of developing and finalizing the scope baseline requires
that you have also done a thorough and timely job of identifying and analyzing stakeholders,
and of collecting requirements. The development of the scope baseline can best be described
as involving:

A. The project team

B. The project expediter
C. The functional managers
D. All the stakeholders
75.A project has a number of deliverables that are complex and have to be assembled. As the
project manager, you know the work breakdown structure will help stakeholders to see interim
deliverables that will be integrated into the final project deliverables. To help manage the
individual elements, you have used a work breakdown numbering system. This numbering
system allows the project team to:

A. Use it in project management software.

B. Identify the level at which individual elements are found.
C. Provide project justification.
D. Systematically estimate costs of work breakdown structure components.
76.A project manager has discovered a team member has gold plated the work done in an
activity. In order to discover this, the project manager must have been performing:
A. Cost management
B. Time management
C. Staffing management
D. Scope management
77. A technique in which stakeholders use a decision matrix to assess requirements based on
factors such as expected risk levels, time, cost, and benefit estimates is:

A. Mind mapping
B. Context diagramming
C. Multi criteria decision analysis
D. Affinity diagramming
78.You are a new project manager and have been assigned a next-generation small submarine
project. The sub will assist in oceanographic studies. Your organization has created several
variations of a similar sub, so you have many organizational process assets to review. The
organization has not used a work breakdown structure in the past. You know the basic guidelines
for creating a WBS and hope that using one will decrease some of the problems that have
occurred on similar projects. The main problems on past projects were missed deliverables and
scope creep (workers completed work that was unnecessary). Your goal is to make certain that
all deliverables are represented on the WBS, and that if a deliverable is not included in the WBS,
it is not produced by the project. Which of the following is a basic rule or guideline for creating a
work breakdown structure?
A. The first row should describe the products of the project.
B. Each level of a work breakdown structure is a smaller segment of the level above.
C.It should list, in chronological order, every activity that needs to be done to complete the
project.
B. It should be organized by functional areas.
79.The first phase of a project is ending. What should be done before moving on to the next
phase?
A. Management meeting
B. Scope management
C. Validate scope
D. Team meeting
80.You have a very accurate WBS and WBS dictionary as parts of your scope baseline. These
have helped with the estimating process. You expect that the WBS dictionary will help team
members clearly understand each work package: what needs to be completed, what must be
included, and the boundaries of each interim deliverable at the work package level. During a
walkthrough of a work package, you discover a team member is completing the work differently
than stated in the WBS dictionary. How should you deal with this?

A. Replace the team member.

B. Determine if the changes also change the scope of the work package.
C. Determine if the alternative way is acceptable to the functional manager.
D. Ask the team member if the changes are necessary.
