Which of the following lists the seven mandatory artifacts of the Project Management Framework as detailed in Module 05, Section D of the course handouts?
A.Signed Contract, Specification Documents, Estimations, Gap Analysis, Project Plan, Demo Plan, Invoice Plan.
B.Source Code Files, SCM Build Records, Unit Test Cases, Automated Integration Scripts, Bug Logs, Daily Standup MOMs.
C.CMMI Process Guide, EPG Action Plan, PAT Charter, SQA Audit Reports, Peer Review Sheets, Training Records.
D.Skype Log Transcripts, SCM Branches, Client Invoices, Weekly Timesheets, Risk Register, Change Request Forms.
According to Module 05, Section K of the course handouts, how is the Cost Performance Index (CPI) calculated and what is its meaning if the value is less than 1?
A.CPI = EV ÷ AV; a value less than 1 means the project is over budget.
B.CPI = AV ÷ EV; a value less than 1 means the project is under budget.
C.CPI = EV ÷ PV; a value less than 1 means the project is behind schedule.
D.CPI = PV ÷ AV; a value less than 1 means the project is as per the planned budget.
In 'Example 2 of CPI and SPI' in Module 05, Section M of the course handouts, what do the single asterisk (*) next to Actual Value (AV) and the double asterisk () next to EVM represent for the audit dated 20-May-2017?
A.(*) represents the sum of actual effort planned to be completed by 20-May-2016; () represents the sum of all tasks with Status = Completed by 20-May-2016.
B.(*) represents the total financial cost of development; () represents the number of developers assigned to the project.
C.(*) represents the code coverage percentage in unit testing; () represents the total number of pre-release defects logged in production.
D.(*) represents the planned duration of the project in weeks; () represents the actual calendar duration of the project in months.
Sourced from Module 05, Section B of the course handouts, how is project management defined in terms of connecting technical and management facets?
A.An approach to compile unit-testing metrics automatically inside Git/SCM repositories.
B.An approach to connect technical and management facets of software development so the product is delivered with the desired quality and time span while reducing costs.
C.An external appraisal process executed solely by certified lead auditors to assign CMMI ratings.
D.A product engineering method focusing entirely on reducing the density of pre-release dormant bugs.
According to the Scope Guidelines of the Project Management Framework (Module 05, Section C), how can requirement clarification and scope management be handled during project execution?
A.They must be completely frozen in a single meeting before the contract is signed.
B.They can be handled in a phase-wise manner or completely at once, depending on the project.
C.They are managed solely by the customer without involving the Project Manager (PM).
D.They must be updated daily by the Software Configuration Management (SCM) lead.
According to Module 05, Section G of the course handouts, what is the core purpose of 'Project Tracking and Control'?
A.To rewrite the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document based on weekly client feedback.
B.To automate the deployment of binary builds directly to the production server.
C.To ensure the project is moving ahead as per the plan.
D.To eliminate all QA cycles and deliver the product ahead of the contracted date.
Analyze the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) calculation in 'Example 1 of CPI and SPI' (Page 42). What is the calculated SPI, and what is its mathematical interpretation compared to the text comment in the handouts?
A.The calculated SPI is 1.1165, which mathematically indicates the project is ahead of schedule (SPI > 1), despite the handout's text comments containing an anomaly/contradiction by labeling it as 'Behind Schedule'.
B.The calculated SPI is 0.6425, which mathematically indicates the project is behind schedule.
C.The calculated SPI is 1.0000, which mathematically indicates the project is exactly on time.
D.The calculated SPI is 0.5753, which mathematically indicates the project is behind schedule.
According to the Budgeted Effort table in Module 05, Section C of the course handouts, what is the criteria for holding a coordination meeting with Sales, and which phases in the sample project exceeded this threshold?
A.A schedule delay of more than 10 days; Phases 1 and 4.
B.An effort variation above 25% from the contracted effort; Phases 2 and 3.
C.A cost overrun exceeding $5,000; Phases 3 and 4.
D.An increase in the count of team members; Phases 1, 2, and 3.
According to Module 05, Section A of the course handouts, what is the main purpose of having a Project Management (PM) Framework alongside technical engineering aspects?
A.To standardize every step of the software development life cycle (SDLC) by developing company-wide consistent artifacts and frameworks.
B.To allow the development team to bypass peer reviews and write ad-hoc code structures.
C.To automate the compilation of binary builds inside SCM repositories.
D.To evaluate user interface usability metrics using off-the-shelf plugins.
Based on the Sample Weekly Status Report (Module 05, Section H), what is the planned end date of Project '1880' as per the contract, and what is its estimated end date due to schedule deviation?
A.Planned End Date: 2-Jul, Estimated End Date: 25-Jul
B.Planned End Date: 2-Oct, Estimated End Date: 14th November
C.Planned End Date: 8-Jul, Estimated End Date: 26-Aug
D.Planned End Date: 15-Jul, Estimated End Date: 27-Aug
