Chapter 4 Flashcards
What impact does a proposed change have on project activities
Schedules may need to be updated.
The project team will be reassigned, restructured, or reorganized.
The project manager will need to be replaced.
Changes are exclusive and do not impact other established project areas or activities.
Schedules may need to be updated.
Approved Change requests can require adjustments to the project management plan, and can require new or revised cost estimates, activity sequences, schedule dates, resource requirements and/or analysis of risk response alternatives
Depending on the level of detail and degree of project completion, how does the project manager implement integrated change control into his/her activities?
By avoiding risks.
By identifying areas that require special attention.
By identifying areas that require or need change.
By continually revising the scope of work.
By identifying areas that require or need change.
The perform integration change control process is conducted from project start through completion and is ultimately the responsibility of project manager. The project manager must identify areas that require or need change.
Monitor and Control Project Work includes: identifying new risks analyzing risks tracking risks all of the above
all of the above
Monitor and control project work includes collecting, measuring, and assessing various aspect of the project such as risks, performance, etc. Continous monitoring gives the team insight into the health of the project and id any areas needing special consideration.
Monitor and Control Project Work includes reserve analysis assessing performance Pareto analysis stakeholder communication
assessing performance
The project manager implements the integrated change control process:
During the initial project phase.
During the intermediate phases of the project.
From project planning through execution.
From initiation through project closure.
From initiation through project closure.
Performance reports include forecasts lessons learned speculations assumptions
forecasts
Work performance reports are physical or electronic representation of work performance information intended to generate decisions, awareness, or actions. Work performance data, raw data, is output of direct and manage work. Work performance info, analysis of data, is input to monitor and control project work with output of work performance reports. Example of work performance reports are: Percentage of the work completed during the reporting period, The balance of the work to be completed, Costs incurred during the reporting period, Forecasted funds required to complete the remaining work, The forecasted time needed to complete the remaining work.
Performing change control includes Gannt Charts. Tracking changes. Configuration auditing. Configuration identification.
Tracking changes.
A________ provides a standardized, effective, process for centrally managing project changes
configuration management system with change control
change control system
plan management system
organizational output system
configuration management system with change control
Configuration control is focused on the specification of both deliverables and processes and change control focus on identifying, documenting, approving or rejecting changes to project documents, deliverables, or baseline. He configuration management plan describes the configuration items of the project and id items that will be recorded and updated so product remains consistent and operable. Change management manages the changes in project baseline. While Configuration management deals with changes in product specifications.
A configuration management system
is seldom used in project management today
requires a large investment
establishes an evolutionary method to request changes
establishes a revolutionary method to request changes

A project-wide configuration management system with change control includes
A performance schedule.
Documentation and control of changes to the baseline.
A revised cost control schedule.
Methods for handling risks that may arise from changes made.
Documentation and control of changes to the baseline
Integrated Change Control outputs include: change requests status updates project management plan updates document updates all of the above
all of the above
The project management plan, project scope statement, and deliverables are maintained
By continuously monitoring the project.
By continuously managing changes.
By continually adjusting the schedule.
By continually revising the scope of work.
By continuously managing changes.
The configuration management activity that verifies that the functional requirements defined in configuration documentation have been met is Configuration verification. Configuration status accounting. Configuration verification and auditing. Configuration identification.
Configuration verification and auditing.
Integrated change control involves forecasting information updating previously planned processes reviewing all change requests creating new processes
reviewing all change requests
What impact does a proposed change have on project processes?
The project scope statement may need to be redefined.
The project management plan may need to be revised.
Project deliverables may be modified, added, or deleted as a result of a proposed change.
