[All PMI-SP Questions]

Tom is the project manager of the HQQ Project. His project has a schedule variance of -$34,500 due to some errors early in the project. Management would like to know how Tom will respond to these variances. What action can help Tom to manage the errors in the project and to ensure that the errors would not occur again?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An activity is an individual element of work that is logically linked to other activities to

form the schedule. Its primary characteristics include an overall duration based upon the resources

applied to it (manpower, material, and equipment), as well as a start and

completion date that is tied to a work calendar. It also has a relationship with other activities

(predecessors and successors).

This is a classic case of 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.' Tom should choose D) Corrective action and use this as an opportunity to showcase his project management superpowers. I bet he can turn this schedule variance into a sweet victory.

I'm torn between A) Lesson learned documentation and C) Preventive action. Tom needs to learn from this experience, but he also needs to take concrete steps to ensure these errors don't happen again. Hmm, I'll go with C) - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

You can't go wrong with B) Risk analysis. Tom should analyze the risks that led to these errors and develop a plan to mitigate them. Hindsight is 20/20, but foresight is key in project management.

I'm going with D) Corrective action. Tom needs to address the current schedule variance and get the project back on track. Documenting lessons learned is important, but that comes later.

Lesson learned documentation is important for future projects, but right now Tom needs to focus on correcting the errors.

Corrective action is definitely necessary to address the current schedule variance.

C) Preventive action seems like the obvious choice here. Tom needs to identify the root causes of the errors and implement measures to prevent them from happening again.

I believe Tom should also consider option A, lesson learned documentation, to prevent similar errors in the future.
