The correct answer is B. There will be a need for an additional project scope statement because of the change request.. This project management question tests understanding of integrated change control and what components are impacted when scope is expanded. Adding laptops affects time, procurement, and risk - but not the need for a separate scope statement.

Question

You are the project manager of the Workstation Improvement Project for your organization. This project will replace 925 workstations with new computers for your company's employees. Mark Jones, the sales manager, has requested that your project add 250 laptops as part of this project as his employees do not have workstations as they travel as part of the sales process. Mark insists that his department in the company can pay for the cost of the laptops. All of the following are components that will be affected by this change request except for which one?

Options

  • AThere will be a need for additional time to install the laptops.
  • BThere will be a need for an additional project scope statement because of the change request.
  • CThere will be a need for additional procurement management processes.
  • DThere will be a need for additional risk analysis for the laptops.

Explanation

This project management question tests understanding of integrated change control and what components are impacted when scope is expanded. Adding laptops affects time, procurement, and risk - but not the need for a separate scope statement.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Adding 250 laptops introduces additional configuration, imaging, and deployment work, directly increasing the time component of the project.
  • C. Laptops are new hardware items not in the original procurement plan, so additional procurement management processes would be required to acquire them.
  • D. New device types (laptops) introduce new risk considerations such as mobility-related theft, loss, or security vulnerabilities that must be analyzed.
