Does Verify scope decides the phase exit criteria completion ?

 Interesting pmp questions which I cannot find right answer.


Q1. Sebastian is a project manager in charge of an R&D project. The project has completed phase 1 and is moving into the next phase of the
project.  What is the process he has to plan for, to ensure that the project requirements have been met in phase 1
and the project can move to the next phase?


a. Verify Scope
b. Close project or Phase
c. Nothing to do
d. Quality Contol


The answer given is a verify scope. But my point is, since Q is about meeting project requirements, we should check against project management plan,
which happens in Close Project. The questions is not about satisfying product/deliverable acceptance criteria.


PMBOK page 100 says: Administrative closure includes, the activities to satisfy the exit criteria for the phase or project


Which is right ?



Q2.


Another question: Verifying scope includes review and formal acceptance from customer or sponsor for the deliverables produced.As such, the PM has to ensure that Verify scope happens within a project phase for.


a. Only one time for all the customer deliverables produced in the phase
b. Every work package as and when the implementation is finished by the team.


c. Only for the milestone based deliverables within the phase


d. Delverables that the Project manager decides based on


My take is B. But I dont have the correct answer info.


regards,


Renji

 B -- YOU ARE RIGHT

D- eleminating first 3- 1vand 3 using word "only"-- hence not

                                         2 using all WP -- not necessary -- hence not

                                         4 PM WILL DECIDE ON PLANNED /NEED

Hi Pawar,


 Thank you for the reply. Please give more insight into Q2 at a process level what happens as per PMI process. Do you think Verify scope can happen many times within a phase or is it only one time , assimilating all the customer  deliverables ?

I have read tye question and what I think

 

Product Scope  Verification --  Verifying Fnuctionality which means verifying requirements.

Project Scope Verification -- Verifying PMP.

I think its asking about product scope and hence Verify scope should be correct answer.

Give your opinion.

 deliverables are formally accepted by sponsor/customer , based on that pm decides.

for B

 Every work package as and when the implementation is finished by the team.

not necessary -- sponsor or customer will verify it.
