Correct Answer: Controlling
Explanation:
The processes in the controlling group are Verify Scope, Control Scope, Control Schedule, Control Costs, Perform Quality Control, Report Performance, Monitor and Control Risks, and Administer Procurements.
Correct Answer: Since the cost is largely independent of the desired accuracy it is the methodology of choice.
Explanation:
?The cost and accuracy of bottom-up cost estimating is typically influenced by the size and complexity of the individual activity or work package.? PMBOK [7.1.2.4]
Correct Answer: Participative
Explanation:
The Participative leadership style is characterized by 1) allowing a great deal of freedom in identifying problems and solutions, 2) working closely with subordinates, 3) allows extensive participation, but 4) reserving to him/herself the final decision. The consultative style is not so open, with discussion more focused around the leader?s uncertainties than asking for new ideas.
Correct Answer: Concept
Explanation:
The first phase in a project always has the greatest degree of uncertainty because at this point in time the product is the least well defined. PMBOK, See figure 2-2. [2.1.1]
Correct Answer: Learning Curve Theory.
Explanation:
Answers B and C belong to quality management, and answer D was formulated by Elizabeth Duffy and suggested that we all try to adjust our lives so that we have a dynamic balance (homeostasis) between challenge and relaxation. Kerstner, Chapter 18

Correct Answer: a business decision that considers the cost estimate together with other factors.

Overhead costs should be figured into the cost estimate. Desired profit considered together with other factors such as market demand, availability of resources, prior experience are then used to determine the optimal price.

Explanation:

Answer A, B, and D are common events that predicate the need for project authorization and can evolve into large scope projects.
Correct Answer: A deliverable is a measurable, verifiable work product such as a specification, feasibility study report, detailed design document, or working prototype
