Answers

1. A. is about defining the Scope; is about verifying the scope (not defining the procedure to verify); is about managing the changes to scope
2. C. SoW is not listed as one of the inputs to Scope Planning in PMBOK. Most probably reason is that key elements from the SoW are already incorporated into the Project Charter.
3. D. Completion of a Project Scope is measured against [B], and [C]. is term introduced to confuse the reader (there is no mention of a product management plan in the PMBOK)
4. B. An approved change request is output of process [C]. The preliminary Scope Statement is not updated at an ongoing basis; instead, the detailed project scope statement is updated.
5. D. Remember that Project Charter is an input to first 2 processes in Project Integration Management and Project Scope Management knowledge areas respectively.



6. A. Scope Control involves variance analysis that might result in corrective action.
   Scope Definition might result in some changes to the project management plans.
   Scope Verification might generate some corrective action to bridge the gap between deliverables and requirements.
   The flow of requested changes across the Project Management processes is as follows:
   Step 1: Identify requested changes [B, C, or D]
   Step 2: Review and approve requested changes [Integrated Change Control]
   Step 3: Update project scope statement, WBS, Scope baselines & project scope management plan [Scope Control]
   Step 4: Update project management plan [Integrated Change Control]
   Step 5: Implement approved change request [Direct & Manage Project Execution]
   
7. C
8. B. The scope management plan defines the process of creating WBS. [PMBOC Pg. 108]
9. B. Scope Verification is the process of obtaining the stakeholders' formal acceptance of the completed project scope and associated deliverables. [PMBOC Pg. 108]
10. B. Part of the Project Scope Management Plan. [PMBOC Pg. 108]
11. B. Work Package is the lowest level in the WBS, and is the point, at which it can be reliably scheduled, cost estimated, monitored and controlled.
12. B. A project scope management plan should document the scope change control system. [PMBOK pg. 121]
13. C
