You are tailoring the schedule management plan template for a project using an adaptive approach instead of a predictive approach. The components you will tailor the most are the schedule model development, release and iteration length, and reporting formats. These directly relate to developing an adaptive schedule model with time-boxed iterations and reporting tailored to the new iterative approach. The other answer choices contain components that are not part of the schedule management plan.

SAMPLE Q & A

2. You are part of a cross-functional development team piloting an adaptive approach to project
management in an organization that has traditionally used a predictive approach. You realize that
you have to tailor the template of the schedule management plan.
Which of the following components of the template are you likely to tailor the most?
A. The rules of performance measurement, the summary milestones, and the key deliverables
B. The organizational procedures links, the units of measure, and the project organization charts
C. The schedule model development, the release and iteration length, and the reporting formats
D. The project schedule model maintenance, the level of accuracy, and the level of precision
HINT: To eliminate some choices, look for items that are not components of the schedule
management plan.
Question

3. The correct answer is C.
The question suggests you are carrying out the Plan Schedule Management process. The
schedule management plan is the primary output of this process. The schedule management
plan establishes the criteria and the activities for developing, monitoring, and controlling the
schedule. Of the choices presented, only the schedule model development, the release and
iteration length, and the reporting formats are components of the schedule management plan.
All three of these components would merit significant tailoring to reflect an adaptive approach to
project management. The project schedule model development specifies the scheduling
methodology and the scheduling tool used to develop the schedule model.
Answer

4. For an adaptive approach, the schedule model will be a selected series of activities needed to
complete a high-priority subset of the project scope that can deliver value quickly. The release
and iteration length determine the time-boxed events that must be completed and how long it
will take to release the iteration. The reporting formats will be driven by the adaptive schedule
model and the iteration length.
The other answer choices contain components that are not part of the schedule management
plan.
