Question 1
Which of the following is NOT a tool or technique used to perform scope planning?
- AOption A:
Benefit cost analysis.
- BOption B:
Schedule performance indexing.
- COption C:
Expert Judgment.
- DOption D:
Alternatives identification.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Scope Planning Tools and Techniques:
Tools for scope planning include methods to define and refine the project scope. These involve cost benefit analysis, expert judgment, and alternatives identification.
Schedule performance indexing is a performance tracking tool used during execution and is
unrelated to scope planning.
PSP Study Guide Reference:
Scope planning methods are detailed in the PSP guide, emphasizing tools like expert judgment,
alternatives analysis, and structured decision-making techniques.
Analysis for Selection:
Option A: A common method to analyze the costs and benefits of scope components.
Option B: Incorrect. This is a tracking tool, not a scope planning method.
Option C: Expert judgment is a key technique in defining project scope.
Option D: Alternatives identification supports exploring various approaches to project goals.
Conclusion: The correct answer is B, as schedule performance indexing is not a scope planning tool.
Question 2
Which of the following is NOT required when initially planning a project?
- AOption A:
Resource Identification and leveling.
- BOption B:
The duration of each task.
- COption C:
A schedule that identifies tasks required on a project.
- DOption D:
Logical relationships between the tasks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Project Initial Planning:
Initial planning focuses on defining project scope, tasks, durations, and logical relationships to
establish a baseline schedule.
Resource Identification and Leveling is typically part of detailed scheduling and execution planning
phases, not the initial planning.
PSP Study Guide Reference:
Resource identification is covered under detailed schedule development, whereas initial planning
emphasizes tasks, durations, and dependencies.
Analysis for Selection:
Option A: Not required in initial planning.
Option B: Defining durations is fundamental to planning.
Option C: Identifying tasks is essential to building the schedule.
Option D: Logical relationships ensure task dependencies are understood. Conclusion: The correct answer is A, as resource identification and leveling are subsequent
processes in scheduling rather than initial planning.
