Chapter 2 Questionsand Answers1. There is a difference between t.docxwalterl4
Chapter 2 Questionsand Answers
1. There is a difference between the project, the project life cycle, the project schedule, and the overall project objective. At the core of these terms is the project life cycle. The project life cycle comprises which of the following?
A. Phases
B. Milestones
C. Estimates
D. Activities
A. The project life cycle is comprised of phases. B is incorrect because milestones may exist within the project plan but they do not constitute the project life cycle. C is wrong because estimates are not directly related to the project life cycle. D is incorrect because activities are performed within the phases of the project life cycle, but not the project life cycle itself.
2. Marci Koening, the project manager for the ERP Project, is about to complete the project phase review. The completion of a project phase is also known as which of the following?
A. Lessons learned
B. The kill point
C. Earned value management
D. Conditional advancement
B. The completion of a project phase may also be known as a kill point. Lessons learned is a collection of information and knowledge gained through an experience, typically a phase, within the project, so A is wrong. Earned value management can happen at different times throughout the project, not just at the end of a project phase; therefore, C is wrong. D, conditional advancement, is a term that describes the conditions that must be present for the work to continue on a project. Conditional advancement, however, does not have to happen only at the end of a project phase.
