B. Allowing 10 percent of the time for travel delays
C. Planning on completing the project work during daylight hours only
D. A predetermined budget of $125,000
D is the correct answer.
A predetermined project budget is a cost constraint. Planning on agreeable weather for
a construction project, allowing time for travel delays, and completing project work
during daylight hours are incorrect because these are assumptions.

change control board for your project because they do not want changes to the project
scope are incorrect because they are positive stakeholders.

departments within your matrix-structured organization. Who should actually charter this
project?
A. You, the project manager
B. The functional managers of each affected department
C. An entity outside of the project but within the organization

approved. Which one does not need to be defined?
A. The project manager and the authority level
B. Anticipated quality standards
C. Summary milestones
D. A summary budget
Anticipated quality standards are not part of the project charter requirements. The
project charter should define the project purpose, project objectives, high-level
requirements, assumptions and constraints for the project, risks, project boundaries,
milestones, budget, stakeholder list, approval requirements, project manager, and the
project sponsor. The project manager and the authority level, summary milestones, and
a summary budget are incorrect because they all need to be defined.

10,000 square feet. They are willing to accept the fee and time schedule change. What
must happen next?
A. The project scope must be revised.
B. The project must be started over.
C. Nothing. The project manager can add the 10,000 square feet to the WBS.
D. The change must be managed through the cost control system.
Revisions are a special type of project schedule change, and cause the project start
date and, more likely, the project end date to be changed. Revisions typically stem from
project scope changes. The project must be started over, nothing; the project manager
can add the 10,000 square feet to the WBS, and the change must be managed through
the cost control system are incorrect because they are false statements.
14. You are the project manager of a large construction project. You and your project
team are planning a method to control changes during the construction project, and
both of you realize that changes often happen in the fieldchanges that may be
different than what the blueprints in the office reflect. The goal of your planning activity
is a way to track actual changes in the field and reflect those changes in the blueprints
in the office. You want consistency between whats actually being constructed and what
the blueprints in the office reflect. What is this process called? (Choose the best
answer.)
A. Project management planning
B. Change assessment

D. Configuration management
This is an example of configuration management, which seeks consistency in tracking
and monitoring approved changes in a project. Project management planning, change
assessment, and scope validation are incorrect because they are false statements.

B. The process for reviewing and approving requested changes
C. A method for documenting the impact of requested changes
D. A methodology to track team personnel changes
Changes to the team personnel are not part of the change control system. Methods to

A change control system requires that each change request be evaluated and its impact
on the project considered before approving the change request. A documented change
control system is required by management, a documented change control system is
required by the project customer, and a documented change control system allows the

projects profitability to improve because each change may affect the profit and loss of
the project are incorrect because they are not valid choices for this question.

project risks. Which of the following is not a risk diagramming technique?
A. Influence diagrams
B. A network diagram
C. A process flowchart
D. Cause-and-effect diagrams
A network diagram does not help identify risks but is instead a tool used in activity
sequencing to identify precedents and dependencies. Influence diagrams, a network
diagram, and cause-and-effect diagrams are incorrect because they are all risk
diagramming techniques.
19. Risks should be identified as early as possible in the project and then analyzed
and tracked for their outcomes and in-depth planning. The risk register contains all but
one of the following. Which doesnt it include?
A. Qualitative risk analysis
B. Root causes of risks
C. Updated risk categories

risks. Which of the following items is a tool or technique for risk identification?
A. Control charts
B. Defect repair review
C. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis
D. A product analysis
This technique ensures examination of the project from each of the SWOT perspectives
to increase the breadth of considered risks. It is therefore an effective risk identification
technique. Control charts, defect repair review, and a product analysis are incorrect
because they are not tools or techniques for risk identification.
23. You are the project manager of the new server project for your company. This
project will replace 128 network servers on your companys network. Your project

task wont necessarily be reduced to 20 hours. This is because of which one of the
following?
B. The law of diminishing returns
C. Parkinsons Law
D. Theory Z
The law of diminishing returns affects the yield of work in relation to work duration. The
law of diminishing returns, Parkinsons Law, and Theory Z are incorrect because they

C. Change the relation of other activities so the primer can cure faster.
D. Examine the network diagram to determine if the relationships between activities can
be changed. If so, move the painting activities to later in the project.
Because the critical path cannot be expanded, the only logical choice is to attempt to
move the activities to later in the project. The project team should focus on other
activities while the primer cures. Add lead time to the painting activity, add lag time to
the painting activity, and change the relation of other activities so the primer can cure
faster are incorrect because they are false statements.
