Project sponsor and functional manager C. Project manager and project team D. Project team and functional manager Answer: C Explanation: The project management processes are presented as discrete elements with welldefined interfaces. However, in practice they overlap and interact in ways that are not completely detailed here. Most experienced project management practitioners recognize there is more than one way to manage a project. The specifics for a project are defined as objectives that must be accomplished based on complexity, risk, size, time frame, project teams experience, access to resources, amount of historical information, the organizations project management maturity, and industry and application area. The required Process Groups and their constituent processes are guides to apply appropriate project management knowledge and skills during the project. In addition, the application of the project management processes to a project is iterative and many processes are repeated and revised during the project. The project manager and the project team are responsible for determining what processes from the Process Groups will be employed, by whom, and the degree of rigor that will be applied to the execution of those processes to achieve the desired project objective.

QUESTION NO: 26 Which of the following methods is a project selection technique? A. Flowcharting B. Earned value C. Cost-benefit analysis D. Pareto analysis Answer: C Explanation: Selection MethodsThere are various project selection methods practiced by the modern business organizations. These methods have different features and characteristics. Therefore, each selection method is best for different organizations. Although there are many differences between these project selection methods, usually the underlying concepts and "Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - 100% Guarantee 10

PMI CA0-001 Exam principles are the same. Following is an illustration of two of such methods (Benefit Measurement and Constrained Optimization methods). As the value of one project would need to be compared against the other projects, you could use the benefit measurement methods. This could include various techniques, of which the following are the most common. You and your team could come up with certain criteria that you want your ideal project objectives to meet. You could then give each project scores based on how they rate in each of these criteria, and then choose the project with the highest score. When it comes to the Discounted Cash flow method, the future value of a project is ascertained by considering the present value and the interest earned on the money. The higher the present value of the project, the better it would be for your organization. The rate of return received from the money is what is known as the IRR. Here again, you need to be looking for a high rate of return from the project. The mathematical approach is commonly used for larger projects. The constrained optimization methods require several calculations in order to decide on whether or not a project should be rejected. Cost-benefit analysis is used by several organizations to assist them to make their selections. Going by this method, you would have to consider all the positive aspects of the project, which is the benefits, and then deduct the negative aspects (or the costs) from the benefits. Based on the results you receive for different projects, you could choose which option would be the most viable and financially rewarding. These benefits and costs need to be carefully considered and quantified in order to arrive at a proper conclusion. Questions that you may want to consider asking are in the selection process are: 1. Would this decision help me to increase organizational value in the long run? 2. How long will the equipment last for? 3. Would I be able to cut down on costs as I go along? In addition to these methods, you could also consider Choosing based on opportunity cost - When choosing any project, you would need to keep in mind the profits that you would make if you do decide to go ahead with the project. Profit optimization is therefore the ultimate goal. You need to consider the difference between the profits of the project you are primarily interested in, and the next best alternative.

QUESTION NO: 37 Which of the following are inputs to Activity Definition? A. Project Scope Statement and Work Breakdown Structure B. Activity list and Arrow Diagram C. Change Requests Lists and Organizational Process Assets D. Project Management Plan and Resource Availability Answer: A Explanation: Activity definition refers to the process of parsing a project into a number of individual tasks which must be completed before the deliverables can be considered completed. Activity definitions rely on a number of specific input processes. These include enterprise environmental factors, organizational process assets, the project scope statement, the work breakdown structure, the WBS dictionary, the project management plan (which consists of the project scope management plan and the schedule management plan). Through use of these inputs, the activities that will need to ultimately be completed in order to compete all of the project objectives can be readily defined, and the activity definition can be further accomplished through the utilization of a number of tools and techniques including decomposition, templates, rolling wave planning, expert judgment, and planning components. The four ultimate outputs of the activity definition process are the activity list, the resulting activity attributes, all requested changes, and any milestones. This term is defined in the 3rd edition of the PMBOK but not in the 4th.

PMI CA0-001 Exam Activity resource requirements and resource breakdown structure are outputs from what Project Time Management process? A. Schedule Control B. Activity Definition C. Schedule Development D. Activity Resource Estimating Answer: D Explanation: Activity Resource Estimate Assumptions and Breakdown StructuresIn the Estimate Activity Resources process, the key output is activity resource requirements. These requirements describe the types and quantities of resources needed for each project activity.Once you know what resources you need, you can begin to estimate the time each activity will take to complete. In this way, the activity resource requirements list generated by the Estimate Activity Resources process become inputs for the Estimate Activity Durations process. Activity resource requirements listThe activity resource requirements list identifies, for tracking purposes, the activity's code in the work breakdown structure, as well as its name. Vital to generating the project schedule, it details the resources that you've estimated you need to complete the activity, and addresses. Resource description The Resource description column lists each type of resource that is required for the activity. This includes human resources, materials, and facilities. Number required The Number required column identifies the quantity required of each resource. This value can be specified in any measurement unit, such as hours, days, or physical number of units required. Resource assumptions Resource assumptions are important factors to consider when devising the project schedule. Any relevant assumptions about the resource can be included, for example resource availability, skills, or quality. Resource availability The Resource availability column specifies when each resource can be used. This is vital information for putting together the project schedule. Resource dependencies The Resource dependencies column identifies factors that may affect the availability of resources. It's important to identify dependencies when devising the project schedule because any change in an activity that has a dependency can affect the project timeline.The final row of the activity resource requirements list identifies the total resources needed for the activity. The resource totals are important in project scheduling as a base from which to calculate the duration of the activity. Resource Assumptions - It's important to record resource assumptions, as they can help during different stages of a project. Select each project stage to find out how resource assumptions can help. Monitoring Recorded assumptions can affect performance monitoring. For example, if a "Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - 100% Guarantee 16

PMI CA0-001 Exam particular task seems to be taking too long, looking at the assumptions can help you identify the problem. Controlling Recorded assumptions can also help you control performance. Having used the assumptions to identify a problem, you can now make performance adjustments so that the project can run more efficiently. Closing Recorded assumptions can provide insights during post-project assessments at the closing stage. For example, if you had made incorrect assumptions about staff capabilities, looking at the assumptions helps you understand what went wrong. This can then be recorded in the lessons learned file for the project.Failure to record assumptions can also have an impact during the Monitor and Control Project Work process. Resource breakdown structuresAlong with the activity resource requirements list, there's one more main output of the Estimate Activity Resources process the resource breakdown structure.The resource breakdown structure provides a hierarchical diagram of the resources required for a project. This structure is visually simple, showing resource information at a glance breaks resources into categories and resource types helps you to organize a project schedule and report on resource utilization information. Although they look similar, a resource breakdown structure is not the same as a work breakdown structure. A work breakdown structure, or WBS, decomposes a project into manageable units of work. Elements in a WBS include project phases, tasks, sub-tasks, and work packages. These represent all the activities in a project. Project document updatesThe Estimate Activity Resources process concludes with project document updates the final output of the process. Initially, various project documents are used as inputs for the process. Now that resource estimation is complete, new information may have come to light. For this reason, you may need to update documents so they reflect the latest project information. In the process of estimating resource requirements and creating the resource breakdown structure, it's often necessary to add or delete schedule activities that appear in the activity list.The activity changes have a subsequent effect on activity attributes and resource calendars. Because project activities have changed, you need to document those changes by updating the descriptions of activities and the availability of relevant resources. The first output of the Estimate Activity Resources process is an activity resource requirementslist. It's important to record any assumptions you've made about resources in this list, for use in monitoring and controlling project work, and in post-project assessments. A second output of the process is the resource breakdown structure. This is a hierarchical diagram that shows the resources required for the project in a visually simple way. It groups resources by category, and can be used for organizing and reporting on resources. The final output of the process is updates to relevant project documents, such as the activity list, activity attributes, and resource calendars.

The influence of the stakeholders increases, the cost of changes decreases. D. The influence of the stakeholders decreases, the cost of changes decreases. Answer: B Explanation: Explanations:Stakeholders and changes versus time in the Project Life Cycle There are lots of common features regarding project life cycles: Most stages of the project follow one after the other and in many cases could be described in technical way. Expenditures and personnel engaged in the task are quite cheap at the beginning of the project, rise in the middle phase and fall significantly in the final stage. The Picture below shows exactly the described model. "Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - 100% Guarantee 30

PMI CA0-001 Exam At the beginning of the project - in initial stage the risk of failure and not to meet your goals is very high. When this crucial period is over the project comes into an intermediate phase where the situation is more stable and predictable. Stakeholders have a big influence for the project's product in many technical aspects, costs etc. at the beginning of its life cycle. However their impact become lower within duration of the project and cost of changes and other corrections - which are low in initial phase rise considerably as the project continues. The Picture below demonstrates clearly this situation.

In our opinion lots of project life cycles have many similar characteristics but few of them are the same. For example some projects can consist of five stages, others with ten or more? Depend on complexity and duration of the project. One institution's hardware testing can have one individual testing stage whereas another organization can have more phases for this task like: general and detailed testing, error correction, compatibility with different computers etc. Separate life cycles can also cover these subprojects for instance: one team of engineers can analysis and look for any defects of the product and the other team can simultaneously check compatibility with other devices. In conclusion we recommend you to deal with every project separately and especially at big and complex enterprises treat every phase as subproject with an individual life cycle.
