380 Question number 9. |
The C or D answers for question 9 are mislabeled as A & B (so the four available answers are A B A B, not A B C D). Also, I disagree with the answer for question nine on page 385. The question at the end of the lead in is asking "What BEST describes the current state of the project?" It is not asking what is forecasted, which I agree the PM is concerned about, and which TCPI would make sense as an answer. I took this question as looking for "the Best" answer, which to me is the second B answer (normally, this would be the C answer) The project is CURRENTLY on target. Please help me understand better than what was explained in the book. |

I calculated the same value for CPI: 0.7597. However, option D also says the project is within budget. The answer on pg 692 also says this CPI indicates the project is within budget. But on pg 356, the book states "you've blown your budget if CPI is less than 1." PMBOK also states "a CPI value less than 1.0 idicates a cost overrun for work completed." Answer D should say "CPI is .7597, so I've exceeded my budget." Note from the Author or Editor: |
