Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 185
A given schedule activity is most likely to last four weeks. In a best-case scenario, the schedule activity is estimated to last two weeks. In a worst-case scenario, the schedule activity is estimated to last 12 weeks.
Given these three estimates, what is the expected duration of the activity?
- A. Four weeks
- B. Six weeks
- C. Five weeks
- D. Three weeks
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
6.5.2.4 Three-Point Estimating
The accuracy of single-point activity duration estimates may be improved by considering estimation uncertainty and risk. This concept originated with the program evaluation and review technique (PERT).
PERT uses three estimates to define an approximate range for an activity's duration:
Most likely (tM). This estimate is based on the duration of the activity, given the resources likely to be
assigned, their productivity, realistic expectations of availability for the activity, dependencies on other participants, and interruptions.
Optimistic (tO). The activity duration based on analysis of the best-case scenario for the activity.
Pessimistic (tP). The activity duration based on analysis of the worst-case scenario for the activity.
Depending on the assumed distribution of values within the range of the three estimates the expected duration, tE, can be calculated using a formula. Two commonly used formulas are triangular and beta distributions.
The formulas are:
Triangular Distribution. tE = (tO + tM + tP) / 3
Beta Distribution (from the traditional PERT technique). tE = (tO + 4tM + tP) / 6
Duration estimates based on three points with an assumed distribution provide an expected duration and clarify the range of uncertainty around the expected duration.
Formula:
E = (a + 4m + b) / 6
Application:
(2+ (4*4) +12)=30 /6 =5

Answer: A
Explanation:
Section: Volume E
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
4.2.3.1 Project Management Plan
The project management plan is the document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. It integrates and consolidates all of the subsidiary plans and baselines from the planning processes.
Project baselines include, but are not limited to:
Scope baseline (Section 5.4.3.1),
Schedule baseline (Section 6.6.3.1), and
Cost baseline (Section 7.3.3.1).
Subsidiary plans include, but are not limited to:
Scope management plan (Section 5.1.3.1),
Requirements management plan (Section 5.1.3.2),
Schedule management plan (Section 6.1.3.1),
Cost management plan (Section 7.1.3.1),
Quality management plan (Section 8.1.3.1),
Process improvement plan (Section 8.1.3.2),
Human resource management plan (Section 9.1.3.1),
Communications management plan (Section 10.1.3.1),
Risk management plan (Section 11.1.3.1),
Procurement management plan (Section 12.1.3.1), and
Stakeholder management plan (Section 13.2.3.1).
Among other things, the project management plan may also include the following:
Life cycle selected for the project and the processes that will be applied to each phase;
Details of the tailoring decisions specified by the project management team as follows:
○ Project management processes selected by the project management team,
○ Level of implementation for each selected process,
○ Descriptions of the tools and techniques to be used for accomplishing those processes, and
○ Description of how the selected processes will be used to manage the specific project, including the dependencies and interactions among those processes and the essential inputs and outputs.
Description of how work will be executed to accomplish the project objectives;
Change management plan that documents how changes will be monitored and controlled;
Configuration management plan that documents how Configuration management will be performed;
Description of how the integrity of the project baselines will be maintained;
Requirements and techniques for communication among stakeholders; and
Key management reviews for content, the extent of, and timing to address, open issues and pending
decisions.
The project management plan may be either summary level or detailed, and may be composed of one or more subsidiary plans. Each of the subsidiary plans is detailed to the extent required by the specific project. Once the project management plan is baselined, it may only be changed when a change request is generated and approved through the Perform Integrated Change Control process.

NEW QUESTION 192
Which Control Quality tool is also known as an arrow diagram?
- A. Matrix diagram
- B. Affinity diagram
- C. Activity network diagram
- D. Tree diagram
Answer: C
Explanation:
Section: Volume A
Explanation:
8.2.2.1 Quality Management and Control Tools
The Perform Quality Assurance process uses the tools and techniques of the Plan Quality Management and Control Quality processes. In addition, other tools that are available include (see also Figure 8-10):
Affinity diagrams. The affinity diagram is similar to mind-mapping techniques in that they are used to
generate ideas that can be linked to form organized patterns of thought about a problem. In project management, the creation of the WBS may be enhanced by using the affinity diagram to give structure to the decomposition of scope.
Process decision program charts (PDPC). Used to understand a goal in relation to the steps for getting to
the goal. The PDPC is useful as a method for contingency planning because it aids teams in anticipating intermediate steps that could derail achievement of the goal.
Interrelationship digraphs. An adaptation of relationship diagrams. The interrelationship digraphs provide a
process for creative problem solving in moderately complex scenarios that possess intertwined logical relationships for up to 50 relevant items. The interrelationship digraph may be developed from data generated in other tools such as the affinity diagram, the tree diagram, or the fshbone diagram.
Tree diagrams. Also known as systematic diagrams and may be used to represent decomposition
hierarchies such as the WBS, RBS (risk breakdown structure), and OBS (organizational breakdown structure).
In project management, tree diagrams are useful in visualizing the parent-to-child relationships in any decomposition hierarchy that uses a systematic set of rules that define a nesting relationship. Tree diagrams can be depicted horizontally (such as a risk breakdown structure) or vertically (such as a team hierarchy or OBS). Because tree diagrams permit the creation of nested branches that terminate into a single
decision point, they are useful as decision trees for establishing an expected value for a limited number of dependent relationships that have been diagramed systematically.
Prioritization matrices. Identify the key issues and the suitable alternatives to be prioritized as a set of
decisions for implementation. Criteria are prioritized and weighted before being applied to all available alternatives to obtain a mathematical score that ranks the options.
Activity network diagrams. Previously known as arrow diagrams. They include both the AOA (Activity on
Arrow) and, most commonly used, AON (Activity on Node) formats of a network diagram. Activity network diagrams are used with project scheduling methodologies such as program evaluation and review technique (PERT), critical path method (CPM), and precedence diagramming method (PDM).
Matrix diagrams. A quality management and control tool used to perform data analysis within the
organizational structure created in the matrix. The matrix diagram seeks to show the strength of relationships between factors, causes, and objectives that exist between the rows and columns that form the matrix.
