Knowledge Assessment-Written Tasks
1. Why do we use WBS for Project Management?
The project management is the analysis of the works dependent on the alignment of the
specific and smart alignment of the operations. The WBS stands for work breakdown structure
and it involves the development of the work and aligning the significant listing of functions. The
work breakdown structure would allow the division of the complete project into specific smaller
operations for ensuring that the implication of the works would be implied with the implication
and development. The WBS would be developed for ensuring the division of the smaller work
packages and it would allow the easy division of the works. The complete project would be
subdivided into smaller sub projects for ensuring the work division is aligned cohesively. The
division of the work would be helpful for ensuring the alignment of the specific work allocation
and development.
2. As a project manager, in which document do you track the schedule progress such as activities
completed, activities in program, actual start and finish dates, percentage complete, hours spent,
resource allocations, etc.
(a) Project Schedule
(b) Schedule Baseline
(c) Schedule Management Plan
(d) Schedule Network Diagram

3KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
Answer: Schedule Baseline is helpful for keeping track of schedule progress by keeping
accounts of activities completed, activities in program, actual start and finish dates, percentage
complete, hours spent, resource allocations, etc.
3. What is project baseline and what does it include?
The project baseline can be defined as the implication for storing the scheduled values
estimated at the project planning method to act as a reference point.
The project baseline includes the values of schedule, cost, and resource usage that had
been estimated at the initial planning phase. It helps in keeping track of the project progress
enabling whether the project would be completed successfully.
4. Describe how to use milestone tracking as a means of measuring project progress.
The milestone tracking is helpful for enabling the use of tracking methods like checklist,
documentation, and log books for analyzing the progress of the project. The milestone
identification would be done considering the practical perspective of the work. The achievement
of the specific points would be dependent on the alignment of the works and formation of the
smart work development and alignment of the successive work development. The use of the
milestone tracking would be helpful for defining the project milestones, overseeing the project
progress, and identifying the project status. The completion of the project activities would be
implied with the listing of the activities and forming the utilization and information listing for the
operations.
5. What is the percent complete approach to measuring project progress?

4KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
The project progress would be completed with the formation and listing the application
management. The percent complete approach would be effectively measures with the formation
of the works and allocation of the smart management works. The complete approach would be
implied with the functional listing of the works. The project progress would be effectively
implied with the continuation of the works and development of the implied management works.
The measurement of the project progress would be implied with the continuation management.
The completion of the project would be effectively managed with the utilization management
formation. The measurement of the project progress would be implied for the successful listing
of the alignment management.
6. What is cost variance?
The cost variance is the value difference between the cost’s actual management and the
budgeted amount of utilization. The cost variance calculation would be aligned with implication
management and utilization of the factors. The completion of the smart and effective
management would be implied with the listing of the cost variance calculation. The cost variance
calculation would be required for aligning the management of the information and taking care of
the conceptive management of the works. The calculation of the cost variance is done by
subtracting actual cost from earned value.
CV=EV-AC
Hence, for over budgeted projects, CV would be negative whereas under budgeted
project would have positive value. The value ‘0’ of CV would be helpful for ensuring that the
project final budget and estimated budget is same.
7. What happens during execution phase of the project?

5KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
The execution phase is characterized by the use of the proper documents like project
charter, schedule, resource usage, cost budget, risk management plan, and design for achieving
the final output of the project. The development of the works would be effectively implied with
the continuation of the effective work experience. The execution phase involves the
simplification of the improved work experience for forming the utilization management. The
formation of the works would be supported by the utilization of the works and formation of the
smart work development. The project execution would be aligned with the formation of the
implication management. The project execution would be effectively implied for taking care of
the factors for managing the development model. The execution phase would be responsible for
executing the works and forming the successful implication of the works.
8. John is managing a project. The project is three quarters done when the site engineer reports
that due to inherent complexities in a certain task the deliverables would get delayed. This would
involve additional analysis and then implementation. He requests that this new work that was not
envisaged earlier be added to the scope and also the time be added to the schedule. You and the
site engineer have analyzed the impact of this change to cost and have written up a change
request approval from the change control board. Just today you have received approval from the
change control board – what should be the immediate course of action?
(a) Start Work immediately
(b) Ascertain the impact of this change to scope, schedule, and cost before making any change

estimates were provided for by the Project Architect and an external consultant. The client has
asked if the deadline can be brought forward by a week. Which of the following actions can you
take?
(a) Use the triangle of constraints to understand and explain to the client that if the deadline is
brought forward the scope and/or cost will increase
(b) Analyze the risk and add it to the Risk Breakdown Structure

8KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
(c) Use the Delphi Method to determine if this request can be accommodated
(d) Provide the client with the new schedule and communicate the risk of bringing forward the
deadline
Answer: (d) Provide the client with the new schedule and communicate the risk of bringing
forward the deadline
13. During a work breakdown structure meeting you have decomposed the deliverable into the
work packages and created your WBS dictionary. However, you now want to decompose the
work packages to assist you in estimating, executing, and control the project. These decomposed
work packages are called?
(a) Milestone
(b) Work packages can’t be decomposed into smaller units
(c) Activities

b. Project Schedule
The project schedule has been developed using the implication of the project adaptive
modulation development management. The scheduling of the adaptive framework would be
effectively implied with the successful completion of the works. The scheduling of the works
would be effectively developed compiling the management of the works would be effectively
managed with the successful alignment of the works and formation of the successful work
development. The project schedule has been divided into the following phases,
Initiation Phase: The first phase of the project development and it would be effectively
implied with the formation of the smart development of works. The initiation phase involves the
accumulation of the information and the alignment of the works cohesively. The utilization of
the activities like requirement analysis, charter documentation, submission of documents, and
sign off are considered in this phase.
Planning: The planning is the second phase of the project operations including the
development of the activities that are required for execution for project. The planning phase
would involve the identification of the works that are required in the latter phases. The planning
phase involves the activities of activity scheduling, listing of tasks, completion of plan, and plan
approval.
Designing: The designing is the third phase of the project operations that is being made
for making the new design of the website. The website development would be effectively
developed for entrapping the new features and programs in a new design. The design
development would be effectively implied with the involvement of the functions and activities

13KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
like website design platform selection, UI graphics are made, font is selected, content is listed,
complete designing, and design approval.
Execution: It is the most crucial phase of the project activities as the main generation of
the output is being done in this phase only. The execution of project activities that had been
developed with the consideration of the smart project completion management would be implied
with the consideration of the smart management processing. The activities included in this phase
involves the UI is made, functions are made, website database is made, website domain is
bought, privacy policy is made, security functions are made, integration of work functions,
complete website is made, and website approved.
Testing and Monitoring: This phase is characterized by the analysis of the work
requirements and the output of the project works. The testing and monitoring of the project
outcomes would be effectively implied with the formation of the activities like Simulation,
Alpha testing, Beta testing, and Testing Completed. The completion of this phase would involve
the completion of the works and forming the alignment of the works dependent on the alignment
of the work development.
Closing: The final phase of the project that would involve the activities of website
domain is fixed, go live of website, final documentation, submission of documents, sign off, and
closure. The completion of the phase would be helpful for documenting the project activities so
that it can be used for future references. The project report would serve as the final project
completion work.

Analysis, Activity Scheduling, Listing of tasks, Completion of Plan, Website Design Platform
Selection, Functions are made, Privacy Policy is made, Security functions are made, Beta testing,
Final Documentation, Submission of documents, and Sign off. The completion of these activities
and the duration would be implied with the formation of the work that has been successfully. The
integration would be effectively developed for integrating the alignment management. The
summarization of the activities and the key listing would be implied with the development.
d. Communication of schedule baseline
The communication of the schedule baseline would be effectively developed considering
the utilization of the factors. Schedule Baseline is helpful for keeping track of schedule progress
by keeping accounts of activities completed, activities in program, actual start and finish dates,
percentage complete, hours spent, and resource allocations. The project baseline includes the

23KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
f. Time Rescheduling
The time rescheduling would be done by implying the use of the effective work
development and integrating the listing of the effective work management. The time
rescheduling would be effectively managed by the alignment of the implicit work development.
The rescheduling of the work would be effectively managed with the help of resource inclusion,
hiring contractor, and delaying the schedule. The project is largely impacted by the scope trio
constraint and the rescheduling would be largely impacted by the formation of the effective
alignment of works.
Out of the three options of rescheduling, hiring contractor would be selected as it would
help in transferring the risk of delay to an external person that would be solely responsible for
the completion of the work. The completion of the works would be highly impacted by the
formation of the smart work development. The completion of the works would be eased by
inclusion of the external people in the project.
g. What processes will you put in place to:
 Measure
 Record
 Report Progress of activities
in relation to the schedule?
 Measure: Calendar
 Record: Project Log Book
 Report Progress of activities: Gantt chart

24KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
h. Describe what you need to do to implement any agreed schedule changes
The following two methods must be followed for implementing any agreed schedule changes
 Make sure that the scope baseline and schedule baseline are update to reflect the
approved change before implementing the change
 Provide the client with the new schedule and communicate the risk of bringing forward
the deadline
