[All PMI-SP Questions]

You work as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. Some of the activities in your project are not being completed on time. You reviewed these activities with your project team and discovered that the time estimates for the project are much more aggressive than what they are actually experiencing in the completion of the activities. You elect to create a new schedule for the project. What project anagement process are you working with when you create a new target schedule?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In severe cases, new schedule duration estimates with new forecasted start and finish

dates are needed. In these instances, it is an example

of using the control schedule process.

Control schedule process is a method of monitoring the status of the project to update project

progress and deal with the changes to the

schedule baseline. It is concerned with:

Determining the current status of the project

Influencing the factors that create schedule changes

Determining that the project schedule has changed

Managing the actual changes as they occur

Control schedule is a component of the Perform Integration Change Control process.

Answer option D is incorrect. The activity resources would only address the addition or replacement

of resources needed to complete the

project work.

Answer option B is incorrect. This is a tempting choice, but new schedules are a part of the control

schedule process.

Answer option A is incorrect. Develop schedule is not the best choice for this question.

I'm not sure, but it makes sense that it would be Develop schedule. The current schedule needs to be adjusted to reflect the actual completion times of activities.

Ha! I bet the project team is secretly hoping for a longer schedule. More time to goof off, am I right? Anyway, I'm going with A) Develop schedule.
