if I say


at what page you are today reading pmbok


and your answer if would be = page 330


it is a status of your study. or status report


if I ask how many pages you have read in last week


and your answer would be if == 15 pages


it is progress of your study or progress report


hence option C will be the answer.

Hope, below may be the answers..

Q1 (A) .. Nothing to do with prior phase closure documentaion during current phase.

Q2 (D) .. Lessons learned is more about how efficiently handled on issues and risks. So, Requirement is excluded.

Sorry Sunder I could see it very late ,


 


2nd question is rightly answered no doubt LL mainly stress over Risk, issues, and technical significance as per PMBOK


Ist question is little tricky --- all 4 is required to document before closure , PMBOK p 102., also second line of 4.6.


But in D- option is shown as "Review of success/failure process", -- processes never be reviewed anywhere except in quality - process improvement. while closure - success/failure audited.


Collect ------records -----files


Audit ------- success/failure ----


Archive ------ information


Gather ----- LL

Pawar Sir,

This question is completely based on the formulas. If we know the formulas,  we can execute this question correctly. I will rate this as Moderate.

Thanks

 You are following EVM methodology for forecasting project estimates, in this prospects which statement is true?

  1. At a point of time if ETC is different than what was earlier planned, then EAC will also be always different than BAC.
  2. If there is an atypical case, its EAC will never be equal to BAC.
  3. If there is a typical case, at any point of time TCPI will be the same as CPI.
  4. All above

 It is an open fundamental, but rarely we reach to that.

to make aware of that fact, I made this quest.

Still not the right one.(as per my view)

I had a doubt between 1 and 2.

Now , I go with option 1.

Please provide the explanation as to validate my analysis.

Thanks

What does this formula say?

TCPI = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC)

take example of just above one question 

BAC = 20000, TCPI = 1.2

Planned ETC at 80% completion, should be 4000, but it is in fact 3333.33, and with the same BAC, project is getting completed. -- hence option 1 is not true.

It is an atypical case , because  CPI is not same through out the project - but with the same BAC, project is getting completed. -- hence option 2 is not true.

What is problem with option 3 - in typical case , through the project period only one CPI remains all the time.

Hence option 4 is not true.

  1. At a point of time if ETC is different than what was earlier planned, then EAC will also be always different than BAC.
  2. If there is an atypical case, its EAC will never be equal to BAC.
  3. If there is a typical case, at any point of time TCPI will be the same as CPI.
  4. All above

Yes, in typical case CPI remains same. But how can TCPI and CPI could be the same. Please clarify this point.

 

Thanks

 TCPI by definition is nothing but CPI of remaing work with available fund.
