You are the project manager of the HGH Project. Thomas, your project sponsor, asked you to submit status reports every week, but now he wants you to submit the status reports every other week. What project management plan would you need to update to reflect this change from Thomas?
Correct Answer:C
The communications management plan needs to be updated whenever there is a change in the frequency, type, or audience of communication. The communication management plan is a document that contains information that is required by the stakeholders. It also documents when and how the information should be distributed. It describes the information delivery needs, its format and level of detail. The communication management plan is contained in or is a subsidiary of the project management plan.
Answer option D is incorrect. The project management plan is a collection of subsidiary plans, including the communications management plan.
Answer option A is incorrect. The scope of the project is not being changed in this example, so there is no need to update the plan.
Answer option B is incorrect. There is no plan by the name of performance management plan, so this choice is incorrect.
You are the project manager for the GHB Organization. Management has asked that you review your recent SPI to determine why there was a schedule variance. They'd also like
you to explain what approach you'll do to counteract the SPI going forward in the project. You complete the variance analysis and report to management that you'll be fast tracking a portion of your project work. What will be the management's concern with, when it comes to fast tracking the project?
Correct Answer:B
When the project manager elects to use fast tracking the project manager is allowing phases of the project to overlap. When phases overlap there is added risk to the project. Fast tracking is a technique for compressing project schedule. In fast tracking, phases are overlapped that would normally be done in sequence. It is shortening the project schedule without reducing the project scope.
Answer option C is incorrect. Management's greatest concern is about the added risks of fast tracking and not about the SPI.
Answer option A is incorrect. Costs are added when the project manager elects to crash a project.
Answer option D is incorrect. Quality may suffer, but the most prominent concern is the added risks to the project work.

John works as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. He is working on a high-profile project with 80 stakeholders and he needs to express to his project team and to the management the importance of communication in the project. He would like to show the number of stakeholder communication channels in the project. Based on this information how many communication channels exist within this project?
Correct Answer:D
Communication channels are paths of communication with stakeholders in a project. The number of communication channels shows the complexity of a project's communication
and can be derived through the formula shown below: Total Number of Communication Channels = n (n-1)/2 where, n is the number of stakeholders. Hence, a project having five stakeholders will have ten communication channels. Putting the number of stakeholders in the formula we can get the required communication channel for the project. It is (80 x 79)/2 for 3,160 communication channels.
