A project can be defined as an activity, which has a start, middle and end and consumes resources. It will Have a specific objective, be unique, have cost constraints that must be clearly defined and understood to ensure the project remains viable, Require organization. Here on MCQs.club we have written easy and useful Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) on Project Management that fully cover MCQs on software project management mcqs, introduction to project management mcqs, project management quiz questions answers. These Project Manager and Management Multiple Choice Questions are helpful for Competitive exams, Professional Accountancy exams and Business management exams.

    4. All of the above
  1. Planning is essential, it helps to:
    1. Communicate what has to be done, when and by whom
    2. Identify the activities the resources need to undertake
    3. Both A&B
    4. None
  1. The steps in project planning are:
    1. Assemble a core project team
    2. Assign resources and duration times to the tasks
    3. Both A&B
    4. None
  1. The project resources part of the plan will contain details of the project partners and project management with a brief description of the project management framework, including:
    1. Organization

    1. Purpose
    2. Target audience
    3. Timing and Key message
    4. All of the above
  1. Performance measurements can include:
      1. Expenditure
      2. Schedule performance
      3. Scope measures – both product scope and project scope
      4. Functional quality
      5. Technical quality performance
      6. Issue management performance
      7. Client satisfaction measures
    1. All of the above

    1. Taking early corrective action when needed
    2. Balancing project effort
    3. Looking for where effort can be reduced making changes early rather than late
    4. All of the above

    1. Acceptance by client
    2. Review of outputs against goals
    3. Disbanding the team and tying up loose ends
    4. End of project review
    5. All of the above

    1. Technical performance review, Cost/budget performance
    2. Project planning and control, Team relationships
    3. Problem identification, Outstanding issues
    4. All of the above
  1. Software configuration management – These are automated tools to identify and document the configuration of information systems and to monitor change control procedures. This is accomplished by:
    1. Establishing approved baseline configuration for the programs and supporting documentation
    2. Ensuring that all modifications and reported problems for programs under baseline control have an appropriate audit trail
    3. Both A&B
    4. None
  1. Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) –
    1. It is a network management technique used widely in the defense and construction industries and has been adopted by many IS organizations
    2. It assumes that the project is a collection of activities or tasks.
    3. It requires the components of systems development to be broken down into one of two categories.
    4. All of the above
  1. The Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) formula is a tool and technique of two processes – Estimate Activity Durations and Estimate Costs. To use this formula, we need to estimate:
    1. Optimistic (best-case scenario)
    2. Most likely (realistic)
    3. Pessimistic (worst-case scenario)
    4. All of the above
  1. Advantages of Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) include:
    1. Greatly improved control over complex development work and production programs
    2. Capacity to distill large amounts of data in brief, orderly fashion
    3. Requires a great deal of planning to create a valid network
    4. Represents the advent of the management-by-exception (MBO) principle
    5. All of the above

  1. Limitations of PERT include:
    1. There is little interconnection between the different activities pursued
    2. Requires constant updating and re-analysis of schedules and activities
    3. Requires greater amount of detail work
    4. Does not contain the quantity information, only time information is available
    5. All of the above
  1. Application of PERT and Critical Path Methodology (CPM) can be seen in:
    1. Construction and maintenance of chemical plant facilities, highways
    2. Introduction of a new product
    3. Acquisition of a company

  1. Critical Path Methodology (CPM) differs from PERT in:
    1. The use of only time estimates for each activity
    2. The inclusion, as an integral part of the overall scheme, of a procedure for time/cost tradeoff to minimize the sum of direct and indirect project costs.
    3. Both A&B
    4. None
  1. Common features of PERT and CPM are:
    1. They both use a network diagram for project representation
    2. They both calculate early and late start and finish times and slack time
    3. Both A&B
    4. None
  1. Gantt Charts –
    1. It can be constructed to aid in scheduling the activities needed to complete a project.
