Which is true about planning in OUM?

The correct answer is B. The project workplan should be scaled up, rather than tailored down, to the level of discipline appropriate.

Explanation

In OUM, this principle is extended to refer to the execution of the method processes themselves. Project managers and practitioners are encouraged to scale OUM to be fit-for-purpose for a given situation. It is rarely appropriate to execute every activity within OUM. OUM provides guidance for determining the core set of activities to be executed, the level of detail targeted in those activities and their associated tasks, and the frequency and type of end user deliverables. The project workplan should be developed from this core. The plan should then be scaled up, rather than tailored down, to the level of discipline appropriate to the identified risks and requirements. * To develop our Project Workplan, we have several options. We can employ a top-down approach and start with all of OUM and tailor it down. We can employ a bottom-up approach and start with the Core Workflow and build up from there. The best approach is probably to start with the workplan that most closely matches our engagement and tailor up and down. That is, immediately tailor down to a pre-tailored Workplan and continue to tailor from there based on the requirements of the engagement, while simultaneously keeping in mind the Core Workflow and building up from there. * tailoring of the actual OUM Project Workplan for your project for activities and tasks (tailoring Oracle 1Z0-466 Exam steps 2.0 through 5.2) including tips for applying a bottom-up as well as a top-down technique for tailoring the Project Workplan. For our example, we are starting with the OUM Project Workplan that is located in the Method Resources section of the Key Components of most view pages. In OUM 5.6, a new Project Workplan template was introduced with pre-tailoring capability for most Implement views.
