PgMP Exam - Question 58


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?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Using a similar past project to define the scope of a current project is known as Analogous Estimating. This technique involves leveraging the scope, cost, duration, or quality information from previous projects to create estimates for the current project. It saves time and effort by relying on historical data and expert judgment from similar projects.

Answer A : Analogous estimating is a technique that uses information from a similar past project in order to estimate the cost and duration of a planned project. This approach is often used when there is limited data available for a project, making it difficult to generate accurate estimates.

A is correct answer. Using the previous project (HHG Project) as a model for defining the scope of your current project (JJY Project) is an example of Analogous Estimating (also known as Top-Down Estimating).

D. Template Driven: This is the correct answer. Using a previous project's scope as a model for a current project is an example of a template-driven approach. In this context, the scope from the HHG Project serves as a template for the JJY Project, streamlining the scope definition process by applying a proven framework.
