Q2. The term Progressive Elaboration incorrectly represents which of the following?

1. Changes to project scope
2. Rolling wave planning
3. Detailing out the product requirements developed during the initiation process.
4. Production of fabrication and construction drawings from the design drawings for a chemical plant.

Q3. John, a project manager for Code Crashers, Inc., has a project with a group of inexperienced programmers that will develop a software package that creates Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for a chemical company. This situation strongly resembles a project his colleague, Peter, worked on in 2006. If John needs to come up with a rough order of magnitude estimate, what tool or technique should he use?

1. Parametric Estimating
2. Bottom Up Estimating
3. Three-point estimate
4. Analogous Estimating

Q4. Analogous Estimating is an estimation technique that uses the values of parameters such as scope, cost, budget, and duration from a previous similar activity as the basis of activity. It is frequently used for estimation when there is a limited amount of information about the project. This is a form of:

1. Gross value estimation
2. Function point estimation
3. Fixed point estimation
4. Precision Estimation

Q5. Project performance appraisals are different from team performance assessments in that project performance appraisals focus on:

1. How an individual team member is performing on the project
2. An evaluation of the project team’s effectiveness
3. A team building effort
4. Reducing the staff turnover rate.

Q6. You publish some informative notes on the company’s web portal and ask stakeholders to review it. What kind of communication method is this?

1. Pull
2. Push
3. Interactive
4. None of the above

Q7. As a project manager, you perform various project performance measurements to assess the magnitude of variation. You then attempt to determine the cause and decide whether corrective action is necessary. This is:

1. Scope Analysis
2. Variance Analysis
3. Performance Reporting
4. Configuration Management

Q8. The process that links people and information is called:

1. Scope management.
2. Human resource management.
3. Communications management.
4. Time management.

Q9. An estimate that is +/-50 percent of actual is considered a:

1. Budget estimate
2. Rough order of magnitude estimate
3. Definitive estimate
4. Parametric estimate.

Q10. Martin is the project manager of a project that is in an early phase. He needs to estimate costs but finds that he has a limited amount of detailed information about the project. Which of the following estimation techniques is least suited to his requirements?

1. Top-down Estimating
2. Bottom-up Estimating
3. Analogous Estimating
4. Budgetary Estimating
