Question about Schedule Variance and Cost Variance

A negative cost variance and schedule variance equal to zero means:
A. The project is over budget and on schedule
B. The project is under budget and ahead of schedule
C. The project is on budget and ahead of schedule
D. The project is over budget and behind of schedule
To answer this type of questions, you need to know the very basic formulas of EVM (Earned Value Management).

Check the page 182 of the PMBOK.

SV = EV – PV (minus is behind schedule)
CV = EV – AC (minus is over budget)

The answer is A, of course!

PMI Practice Standards: are they useful to prepare PMP Certification?

Hi
Apart the PMBOK itself, which is the main source of information to prepare the PMP exam, do you think the other standards are useful?
I didn't consult them to prepare the PMP exam, but I'm reading them now with interest, as they provide a different approach and additional understanding of the topics.

Did you use one of several of these Practice standards to prepare your PMP exam?

1.       Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD) Framework (2^nd edition)

2.       Practice Standard for Earned Value Management

3.       Practice Standard for Project Configuration Management

4.       Practice standard for project risks management

5.       Practice Standard for Work Breakdown Structures (2^nd Edition)

6.       Practice standard for project estimating

7.       Practice standard for scheduling (2^nd Edition)

8.       The Standard for Program Management (2^nd Edition)

Question about Delphi Method / Technique

Hi!
During my PMP exam, I got two questions related to Delphi method.


What is the best use of the Delphi Method?
1) Team discussions
2) Decision making
3) Report Performance
4) Identify Stakeholders


The answer?
Check the PMBOK pages 108,269, 286 and 432.
More hints? Check this  book "Project Management Communications Bible By William Dow, PMP, Bruce Taylor" on this Google link:


The answer is 2), Decisions making of course!

Question about Conflict Management

Questions about ITTOs are sometimes confusing, because often wordy, and some ITTOs can be found in different processes.

Try this one for instance:

Conflict Management is:
1) A tool & technique of Develop Project Team
2) An input of Manage Project Team
3) A tool & technique of Manage Project Team
4) An output of Develop Human Resource Plan

Answer? Check the PMBOK p236!

Reviewing Leading Project Management Practices

Hi

I found this paper interesting to summarize the five Leading Project Management Practices, namely   

Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), Projects in Controlled Environments (PRINCE), Association of Project Management Body of Knowledge (APMBOK), International Project Management Association (IPMA) and the British Standards (BSI) BS6079-1:2002.

This doesn't give direct materials to prepare the PMP exam but it helps to position the PMP credential within the scope of different Project Management methods / standards / practices.
