Fred is the project manager of the NHA project. This project has a BAC of $2,456,900 and is sixty percent complete. Fred has crashed the project, which has driven the project costs to date to $1,525,140, but his project is five percent more complete than what was planned.
What is the cost variance for this project that Fred needs to report to management?

  1. $122,845
  2. -$51,000
  3. -$85,000
  4. Zero

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The cost variance for the project is -$51,000. You can find the cost variance by using the formula earned value minus planned value. In this instance, it is: CV = EV - AC = (0.60* 2,456,900) - 1,525,140 = -51,000
Answer option C is incorrect. -$85,000 is the project's variance at completion.
Answer option A is incorrect. $122,845 is the project's schedule variance.
Answer option D is incorrect. There is a cost variance on this project of -$51,000.



You are the project manager of the GHY Project. This project is scheduled to last for one year and has a BAC of $4,500,000. You are currently 45 percent complete with this project, though you are supposed to be at your second milestone which accounts for half of the project completion. There have been some errors in the project which has caused you to spend $2,073,654.
What is this project's schedule performance index?

  1. 1.02
  2. 0.98
  3. 0.90
  4. -$108,120

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The schedule performance index shows how well the project is performing on its schedule goals. The SPI can be found by dividing the earned value by the planned value. In this instance, it is $2,025,000 divided by $2,250,000 for .90. The closer to 1, the better the performance. Schedule performance index (SPI) is the measure of schedule efficiency on a project. It is used in trend analysis to predict future performance. SPI is the ratio of earned value to planned value. The SPI is calculated based on the following formula: SPI = Earned Value (EV) / Planned Value (PV) If the SPI value is greater than 1, it indicates better than expected performance, whereas if the value is less than 1, it shows poor performance. The SPI value of 1 indicates that the project is right on target.
Answer option B is incorrect. 0.98 is the cost performance index.
Answer option A is incorrect. 1.02 is the to-complete performance index.
Answer option D is incorrect. -$108,120 is the variance at completion based on current performance.



Holly is the project manager for her organization. She is creating the activity list and would like to tag those activities that are comprised of discrete effort.
What is discrete effort?

  1. It is a term used to describe activities whose effort cannot be directly measured to the project objectives.
  2. It is a term used to describe activities whose effort can be directly measured and linked to the project objectives.
  3. It is a term used to describe activities that are supportive of the project work, but not linked to the project deliverables.
  4. It is a term used to describe activities that are core project management processes, but not core project activities.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Discrete effort is a term used to describe the work that can be measured and traced to the components in the work packages. It is the actual work to create the project deliverables.

Discrete effort refers to the particular work effort that can be identified and traced as having a direct tie to the final completion of the project- related work breakdown structure components and the deliverables. It is necessary that all the efforts have a specific measurable end product or end result. Answer options A, D, and C are incorrect. These are not valid definitions of discrete effort.



Lily works as a project manager for Blue Well Inc. She has recorded the following duration estimates for an activity in her project: optimistic 35, most likely 50, and pessimistic 95.
What time will she record for this activity?

  1. 48
  2. 55
  3. 54
  4. 40

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This is an example of three-point estimate. A three-point estimate records the optimistic, most likely, and the pessimistic duration and then records an average for the predicted duration Three-point estimate is a way to enhance the accuracy of activity duration estimates. This concept is originated with the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). PERT charts the following three estimates: Most likely (TM): The duration of activity based on realistic factors such as resources assigned, interruptions, etc. Optimistic (TO): The activity duration based on the best-case scenario Pessimistic (TP): The activity duration based on the worst-case scenario The expected (TE) activity duration is a weighted average of these three estimates: TE = (TO + 4TM + TP) / 6 Duration estimates based on the above equations (sometimes simple average of the three estimates is also used) provide more accuracy. Here, it is, TE = ( 35 + 50*4 + 95) / 6 = 330/6 = 55



Nancy is the project manager of the JJJ Project. This project has recently been approved by the project customer as complete so Nancy must now finalize the administrative closure. Nancy needs to create the final project report to report the successes and failures in the project. Who should Nancy deliver this final project report to if she is participating in a projectized structure?

  1. Functional Management
  2. Project sponsor
  3. Whomever the communications management plan directs her to
  4. Project customer

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The communications management plan will define who will receive what information.
Answer option B is incorrect. The project sponsor may be a recipient but the project communications management plan is the best selection.
Answer option A is incorrect. Functional management is not the best choice in a projectile structure.
Answer option D is incorrect. The project customer may receive a copy of the report, but the project communications management plan should direct the communications.
