QUIZ ANSWERS

1. C. While the project budget is important, it is not part of the project schedule. A project schedule is the compilation of all of the tasks to be completed within a project and the assignment of resources, and it should reflect the entries of the WBS. If you are using Microsoft Project, then you can streamline your efforts, as Microsoft Project will allow you to create the network diagram and work toward the WBS.

2. B. The project scope statement is composed of three documents: the project scope statement, the WBS, and the WBS dictionary. These three documents serve as the guideline for all future project decisions.

3. D. Quality control is the process that requires the project team to inspect the project work for the existence of quality. The quality management plan defines how quality control should be used, how errors are managed, and what techniques will be implemented. A, the process improvement plan, defines how the project management processes used within the project can be measured and then improved upon. B, the scope management plan, defines how the project scope, the WBS, and the WBS dictionary will be created and managed. C, the risk management plan, defines how risks will be identified, analyzed, and monitored and controlled throughout the project.

4. B. The scope management plan defines how changes to the project scope may be allowed to enter the project. When a change is proposed, the project manager, the change control board, and even the project team will examine the change to see its effect on the entire project. The examination of the effect on all areas of the project is called integrated change control. A and D, the quality management plan and the risk management plan, do not define integrated change control, but these knowledge areas can be affected by a proposed changed. There is no change control plan (C).

5. C. A network diagram is a fluid mapping of the entire project, not just one phase. A network diagram is not an extension of the Gantt chart or the WBS.

6. A. Once you and your project team have created the WBS, you can then create the activity list. The activity list is based on the work packages; recall that work packages are the smallest item in the WBS. The activity list is a separate document in the project management plan and precedes the project network diagram. C and D, the risk management plan and the schedule management plan, may not exist at this point of project planning, though their existence wouldn’t affect the need for the activity list at this time.

7. D. Float is the amount of time an activity’s completion can be delayed without delaying the project end date. Not every project will have float, though most projects do—including simple or complex projects. Float is not directly related to the cost of the project work.

8. D. Team development is part of the project human resource plan. It’s essential for project team members to learn to trust one another, work well together, and become a cohesive team unit for the execution of the project.
