Your team is not familiar with the process and you are providing them with coaching and guidance. Which of the following would not be included in your discussion about the WBS?

1. Status and progress about task completion is measurable.
2. Time/cost can be easily estimated.
3. The appropriate level of detail is defined
4. Work package activities are arranged in predecessor / successor relationships

Motivating the project team is a key responsibility of the project manager. Understanding the factors that motivate the team is also important. According to Frederick Herzberg, which of the following is generally not considered to be a motivator?

During a software project, you, as the project manager, gather data from the project team and perform an Earned Value Analysis of the project. Your analysis is based on the following information:

EV: 523,000  PV: 623,000  AC: 643,000.

Your Earned value report will indicate which of the following?

1. CV: +120,000; SV: +100,000.
2. CV: +100,000; SV: +120,000.
3. CV: -100,000; SV: -120,000
4. CV: -120,000; SV: -100,000.

Which of the following formulas should be used to calculate the project estimate at complete when the current variances are seen as typical and can be expected to be seen for future variances?

1. EAC = AC ^C + (BAC – EV ^C) / CPI ^C


2. ETC = BAC – EV ^C


3. ETC = (BAC – EV^C) / CPI ^C


4. d) EAC = AC ^C + BAC – EV ^C

a) The process is in control and the next phase of testing should begin

b) The chart indicates a run and further analysis is required

c) The data points are within the mean and the UCL and indicate acceptable performance

d) The process average should be re-calculated
