    Managing any kind of work as a discrete project activity is referred to as “Managing By Project” or “MBP”.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Managing any kind of work as a discrete project activity is referred to as "Managing By Project" or "MBP". This means that all work is organized and executed as individual projects, with specific goals, timelines, and resources allocated to each project. This approach allows for better management and control of the work, as each project is treated as a separate entity. By adopting this approach, organizations can ensure that projects are completed efficiently and effectively, leading to successful outcomes.

    Which one of the following is not a characteristic of a Project?

    • Temporary nature

    • Familiarity

    • Risk

    • Uniqueness

    Correct Answer
    A. Familiarity
    Explanation
    A characteristic of a project is that it is temporary in nature, meaning it has a defined start and end date. Projects are also unique, meaning they are one-time endeavors with specific objectives. Risk is another characteristic of a project, as it involves uncertainty and the potential for unexpected events or outcomes. However, familiarity is not a characteristic of a project. Projects often involve new or unfamiliar tasks, challenges, and goals, which make them different from routine or repetitive work.

    ‘Project Cost Management’ is also referred to as ‘Scheduling’.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Project Cost Management is also referred to as Scheduling" is false. Project Cost Management is a distinct knowledge area in project management that focuses on estimating, budgeting, and controlling the costs of a project. Scheduling, on the other hand, is a separate knowledge area that deals with creating and managing project schedules. These two areas are related but have different focuses and objectives within project management.

    Which one of the following types of Project Managers has an absolute authority to direct and control subordinates and resources of an organization without sharing it with any functional managers?

    • Project Expeditor

    • Project Coordinator

    • Matrix Manager

    • Pure Project Manager

    Correct Answer
    A. Pure Project Manager
    Explanation
    A Pure Project Manager has absolute authority to direct and control subordinates and resources of an organization without sharing it with any functional managers. In this type of project management structure, the project manager has full control over the project team and resources, allowing for quicker decision-making and streamlined communication. This type of project manager is typically used in projects where the project is the primary focus and there is no need for coordination with other functional areas of the organization.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The purpose of Project Coordinators is to achieve unity of communication.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The purpose of Project Coordinators is not solely to achieve unity of communication. While effective communication is an important aspect of their role, Project Coordinators are responsible for various other tasks such as coordinating project activities, managing resources, and ensuring project goals are met. Achieving unity of communication is just one of the many objectives they strive for, but it is not their sole purpose.
