Question 4:
Lucy has recently been assigned as the project manager for a new shopping mall construction project. Since the project will span well over five years, Lucy is a bit hesitant to use the current market rates for estimating construction materials cost. The prices have been steadily increasing and the current market rates might not remain valid in the future. Which of the following techniques can Lucy apply to determine her project budget?
- A) Conduct a trend analysis on the cost of materials and use the extrapolate the cost of materials in the future.
- B) Determine the cost of the project using current market rates and in the total budget by some factor.
- C) Compute the Net Present Value of the cost of materials and use it to determine the project budget.
- D) Use Rolling Wave Planning to determine the budget as the project progresses.
Correct Answer: A
Check out the solution:
Conduct a trend analysis on the cost of materials and using that to extrapolate the cost of materials in the future is the best response. Trend analysis is used to forecast future based on past results. This is most probably the only choice available to Sara if she is required to determine the project budget today. Other choices are incorrect as they can’t produce better results. [PMBOK 6th edition, Page 111]

- A) Scope Baseline
- B) Requirements documentation
- C) WBS Dictionary
- D) Project charter
Correct Answer: D
Check out the solution:
It is the project scope statement and not the project charter that should be updated. The project charter contains only the high-level requirements and high-level project description. All of the other documents listed in the other choices should also be updated. [PMBOK 6th edition, Page 81]
