   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Quality metrics are specific, quantifiable attributes of a product or process that are used to assess its quality. These metrics are typically predefined and used as standards or benchmarks to measure and evaluate the quality of the product or process. On the other hand, quality measurements are the actual data or values obtained by measuring a product or process against the established quality metrics. The measurement process is typically part of the Monitor and Control Project process, where the project team collects data and measures the product or process against the defined quality metrics to determine whether the quality standards are being met.

   A project has an estimated duration of 10 months with a total budget of US$220,000. At the end of the fifth month, it is estimated that at completion, the project will incur US$250,000. If the actual cost (AC) calculated is US$150,000, what is the earned value (EV) of the project?

   Explanation

   EAC = US$250,000. BAC = US$220,000 AC = US$150,000 EAC = AC + BAC - EV EV = AC + BAC - EAC EV = US$150,000 + US$220,000 - US$250,000 EV = US$120,000

   • AMetrics
   • BSprint
   • CCharter
   • DBacklog

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   D. Backlog In agile projects, the definition of requirements is typically represented by the "Backlog." The backlog, often referred to as the Product Backlog or Sprint Backlog, is a prioritized list of user stories, features, or items that describe what needs to be built or delivered in the project. It serves as a dynamic document that captures and represents the requirements of the project. User stories within the backlog are written in a way that describes the desired functionality or feature from the user's perspective, making them a key element of requirements in agile project management. The backlog is continually refined, reprioritized, and adjusted throughout the project to ensure that it reflects the evolving understanding of the project's requirements.
