Question 1:

Choose the correct option?

• A) Scope Management Plan
• B) Requirement Management Plan
• C) Project Scope Statement
• D) Accepted Deliverables

Correct Answer: C

Check out the solution:

The project scope Management statement provides the product description, acceptance criteria, key deliverables, project boundaries, assumptions, and constraints about the project. The scope management plan and the requirements management plan are the subsidiary plans of the overall project scope management plan and they detail how the project team needs to manage the project scope and requirements respectively. These plans do not document the actual scope of the project. Accepted deliverables is the wrong answer since deliverables are accepted post-completion and validation, the identification of the key deliverable is done early during the planning of the project.

Question 6:

A project has gone out of control, and the project manager is trying to bring it back under control. There have been a number of changes to the project scope.

• B) Scope jump

• D) The acceptance criteria

• B) Plurality
• C) Unanimity
• D) Majority

Correct Answer: B

Check out the solution:

This group decision-making technique is called Plurality. Even if a majority (where more than 50% of the members support the decision) is not achieved, the largest block in the group makes the decision.

A certain project was in the Collect Requirements phase. The product’s eventual users could not define their requirements. In this scenario, which of the following tools could have helped determine the requirements?

Choose the correct option?

• A) Interviews
• B) Prototypes
• C) Survey
• D) Questionnaires

Correct Answer: B

Check out the solution:

Prototypes are working models of the expected product before actually building it. The tangible nature of prototypes allows users to experiment with a model of their final product early in the project life cycle and to generate clear feedback. Interviews, questionnaires, and surveys were unlikely to help in this case since the users were struggling to define their requirements.
