During execution of the activity concerned with identifying the affected software, five relevant software modules were discovered that had not been included in the scope baseline. The project team must adjust the baselines to include the omitted scope.Which change management phase does this scenario describe?
a) Preparing for the change
b) Managing the change
c) Reinforcing the change
d) Upgrading the change
a) Preparing for the change
A general contractor is managing a highway construction project that will repair a flood-damaged road. The Department of Transportation offered an incentive fee if the repairs are completed early. Therefore, the project manager has established a rewards and recognition program and has communicated this program to the project team member. The project's recognition program will reward project team members who add value by accelerating the project while maintaining its ability to deliver the completed scope correctly.Which change management phase does this scenario describe?
a) Preparing for the change
b) Managing the change
c) Reinforcing the change
d) Upgrading the change
c) Reinforcing the change
A general contractor is managing a construction project that will add a new conference room to an existing office building. The project was documented in a fixed-price contract that specified a completion date. The contract includes a damages clause imposing a late completion penalty if the conference room is not ready for use by the due date. One month into the implementation, the customer wants to modify the room's lighting equipment.The requested change will delay the project's critical path by three months.Which process should be used to maintain the existing baseline?
a) Using a change management system to influence
performance
b) Absorbing the change request in the baselines for time
and cost
c) Focusing on the original scope
d) Using the risk management system to process change
requests
a) Using a change management system to influence performance
A general contractor from Germany is managing a construction project in Norway that will add a new conference room to an existing office building. The project needs to collect requirements from the client prior to developing plans to build the new conference room.Which two actions would prove useful to plan the project's quality?
a) Defining traceable and verifiable requirements that can
be validated at project closure
b) Establishing metrics that describe what to measure and
how to measure it
c) Using inventory to protect against defects during
project implementation
d) Changing the work plan to account for the project
experiencing common variation
e) Using slogans and numerical quotas to exhort
resources to work harder a & b
a) Defining traceable and verifiable requirements that can be validated at project
