They then aggregate the specific tasks and organize them into summary activities, or higher levels in the WBS.

The format of the WBS dictionary can vary based on project needs. • Question 12 1 out of 1 points _____ involves defining and documenting the features and functions of the products produced during the project as well as the processes used for creating them. : [None Given] : Collecting requirements involves defining and documenting the features and functions of the products for the project as well as the processes used for creating them. The project team creates requirements documentation and a requirements traceability matrix as outputs of the requirements collection process. • Question 13 1 out of 1 points The executing tasks of the WBS remain constant from project to project. : [None Given] : The executing tasks vary the most from project to project, but many of the tasks under the other project management process groups would be similar for all projects. • Question 14 1 out of 1 points Which of the following is recommended for the creation of a good WBS? : [None Given] : Some basic principles apply to creating any good WBS and its WBS dictionary. Firstly, a unit of work should appear at only one place in the WBS. The work content of a WBS item is the sum of the WBS items below it. • Question 15 1 out of 1 points Scope creep refers to: : [None Given] the tendency for project scope to keep getting bigger and bigger. : Scope creep refers to the tendency for project scope to keep getting bigger and bigger. • Question 16 1 out of 1 points Project scope statements must include the project boundaries, constraints, and assumptions. : [None Given] • Question 17 1 out of 1 points Scope creep if not managed well can lead to the failure of information technology projects. : [None Given] : Even when the project scope is fairly well defined, many IT projects suffer from scope creep—the tendency for project scope to keep getting bigger and bigger. Many IT projects fail due to scope creep. • Question 18 1 out of 1 points _____ is a process for identifying and modeling business events, who initiated them, and how the system should respond to them. : [None Given] : Use case modeling is a process for identifying and modeling business events, who initiated them, and how the system should respond to them. It is an effective tool for understanding requirements of information systems. • Question 19 1 out of 1 points Project scope management includes the processes involved in defining and controlling what is or is not included in a project. : [None Given] • Question 20 1 out of 1 points A work package must always represent less than 80 hours of work. : : A work package represents the level of work that the project manager monitors and controls. If a project has a relatively short time frame and requires weekly progress reports, a work package might represent work completed in one week or less. If a project has a very long time frame and requires quarterly progress reports, a work package might represent work completed in one month or more. • Question 21 1 out of 1 points The scope of a project is clear and specific from the start. : [None Given] : As time progresses, the scope of a project should become more clear and specific. • Question 22 1 out of 1 points Creating the WBS is a subprocess associated with the _____ process in project scope management. : [None Given] • Question 23 1 out of 1 points Information from the project charter provides a basis for further defining the project scope. : [None Given] • Question 24 1 out of 1 points Generating ideas by comparing specific project practices or product characteristics to those of other projects or products inside or outside the performing organization is known as _____. : [None Given] • Question 25 1 out of 1 points The _____ approach for constructing a WBS starts with the largest items of the project and breaks them into subordinate items. : [None Given] Monday, June 1, 2015 7:25:56 PM CDT • Question 1 1 out of 1 points Scope refers to: : [None Given] • Question 2 1 out of 1 points The ______ documents how project needs will be analyzed, documented, and managed. : [None Given] . requirements management plan : The requirements management plan documents how project requirements will be analyzed, documented, and managed. • Question 3 1 out of 1 points Which of the following is recommended for the creation of a good WBS? : [None Given] • Question 4 1 out of 1 points In the _____approach for constructing a WBS, you use a similar project’s WBS as a starting point. : [None Given] • Question 5 1 out of 1 points A work package must always represent less than 80 hours of work. : [None Given] • Question 6 1 out of 1 points Scope creep refers to: : [None Given] • Question 7 1 out of 1 points The _____ approach for constructing a WBS involves refining the work into greater and greater levels of detail. : [None Given] • Question 8 1 out of 1 points _____ refers to the difference between planned and actual performance. : [None Given] : Variance is the difference between planned and actual performance. • Question 9 1 out of 1 points In the _____ approach, team members first identify as many specific tasks related to the project as possible and then aggregate the specific tasks and organize them into summary activities, or higher levels in the WBS. : [None Given] • Question 10 1 out of 1 points Deliverables are only product-related, such as a piece of hardware or software. : [None Given] • Question 11 1 out of 1 points The term ______ describes a product produced as part of a project. : [None Given] • Question 12 1 out of 1 points _____ is a process for identifying and modeling business events, who initiated them, and how the system should respond to them. : [None Given] • Question 13 1 out of 1 points Scope creep if not managed well can lead to the failure of information technology projects. : [None Given] • Question 14 1 out of 1 points The _____ technique for creating a WBS uses branches radiating from a core idea to structure thoughts and ideas instead of writing down tasks in a list or immediately trying to create a structure for tasks. : [None Given] • Question 15 1 out of 1 points The project’s size, complexity, importance, and other factors do not affect how much effort is spent on collecting requirements for scope planning. : [None Given] • Question 16 1 out of 1 points The scope of a project is clear and specific from the start. • Question 17 1 out of 1 points Mind mapping allows people to write and even draw pictures of ideas in a nonlinear format. • Question 18 1 out of 1 points The executing tasks of the WBS remain constant from project to project. • Question 19 1 out of 1 points The WBS is organized solely around project phases. • Question 20 1 out of 1 points A(n) _____ is a table that lists requirements, their various attributes, and the status of the requirements to ensure that all are addressed. : [None Given] • Question 21 1 out of 1 points The main technique used in creating a WBS is _____, which involves subdividing project deliverables into smaller pieces. • Question 22 1 out of 1 points A(n) ____ is a task at the lowest level of the WBS. : [None Given] • Question 23 1 out of 1 points The scope baseline in a WBS consists of the requirements documentation and enterprise environmental factors. • Question 24 1 out of 1 points Many organizations provide different guidelines and templates for developing WBSs. : [None Given] • Question 25 1 out of 1 points _____ refers to the process of developing a working replica of the system or some aspect of the system. : [None Given] : Prototyping involves developing a working replica of the system or some aspect of the system.
