PGMP · Question #146

You are the project manager for the JJY Project, which is similar to the HHG Project you managed last quarter. You would like to model the current project scope on the previous project to save time…

The correct answer is D. Template driven. Using a previous similar project's scope as a starting model for a new project's scope definition is the template-driven approach to scope definition.

Project Scope Management

Question

You are the project manager for the JJY Project, which is similar to the HHG Project you managed last quarter. You would like to model the current project scope on the previous project to save time and effort. This is an example of what kind of scope definition?

  • BOrganizational process assets
  • CParametric scope definition

Why each option

Using a previous similar project's scope as a starting model for a new project's scope definition is the template-driven approach to scope definition.

AAnalogous estimating

Analogous estimating uses historical project data to estimate cost or duration, not to define or model the scope of a new project.

BOrganizational process assets

Organizational process assets are a category of inputs (like templates, historical records, and procedures) that enable processes such as template-driven scope definition - they are not a scope definition technique themselves.

CParametric scope definition

Parametric scope definition is not a standard PMI-recognized technique; parametric estimating uses statistical relationships to estimate cost or schedule, not to define scope.

DTemplate drivenCorrect

Template-driven scope definition reuses scope documents, deliverable structures, or plans from prior projects as a template for a new project. Modeling the JJY Project scope directly on the similar HHG Project matches this technique precisely, saving time and leveraging proven scope structures.
