Question

Question: Based on the WBS for a project with the requirement to lower a restaurant’s food cost, preliminary work performance date indicate that the initial target has not ben achieved. The project manager is reviewing suggestions to identify suitable actions for closing the gap. Once the desired scope change has been selected, the project manager will update the project plan. Which scope describes the actions that the project manager should take? Answer Choices: The change in scope is funded in the contingency allowance so the project manager should accept the variances in baselines for scope, time, and cost. The change in scope requires an update to the scope baseline, so the project manger should use the change control system to update the baselines for time and cost. The change in scope is funded in the budget for managerial reserves, so the project manage should draw upon the reserve to cover the variances in baselines for scope, time and cost. The project plan needs to remain unchanged, so the project manager should reject the essential scope change to avoid incurring contractual penalties because of a delay.

Answer 1

Here, correct answer is The change in scope requires an update to the scope baseline, so the project manger should use the change control system to update the baselines for time and cost.

Explanation:

Once scope change is selected, Project manager will update to the scope baseline, as due to one change in scope, within the same baseline, there will have impact on other scope, hence, first, we should update scope baseline, then, being a project manager, I will use change control system or perform integrated change control as to update baselines for time and cost. Hence, correct answer is the change in scope requires an update to the scope baseline, so the project manger should use the change control system to update the baselines for time and cost. Other options are not relevant, so other options are eliminated.
