Q 1: Draw a simple Work Breakdown Structure for the manufacture of a Motor bike.
Ans
manufacture of a Motor bike.

Q 2: After one year of construction, an office building is scheduled to be completed on 30th

January. The landscaping work needs to start 15 days prior to completion of the building.
Which of the following relationships most likely represents the relationship of the start of
landscaping work to the completion of the office building?

1. Finish-to-start with a 15 day lead

2. Start-to-finish with a 15 day lead
3. Finish-to-start with a 15 day lag
4. Start-to-finish with a 15 day lag
Solve it by a. determining the activities, b. dependencies and c. start or/and finish activities.
Ans .
Answer 1.

The project time management process that involves identifying and documenting
dependencies between schedule activities is option 3 i.e Sequence activities because
Sequence Activities is that the method of distinguishing and documenting relationships
among the project activities.

Answer 2.

The project calendar is a calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on
which schedule activities are worked.

Answer 3.

The sequence of activities that depicts the activities before beginning preparing the project
schedule is option 1 i.e. Sequence Activities, Estimate activity resources, Estimate activity
durations.

Answer 4.

In this question the answer is option 4 i.e Start to finish with a 15 days lead because in this
situation the successor activity will begin 15 days prior the precursor activity has finished.

Q 3: What are the inputs of the Collect Requirements Process? Provide brief description.

Ans.
The project charter is one of two defined inputs for the collect requirements process. (The other input is
the stakeholder register.
“Collect Requirements is the process of determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs &
requirements to meet project objectives." Hence, in Collection requirement process, the first step is to
identify stakeholders' needs. Second, Document these needs & requirements
All of the tools and techniques in Collect Requirements
 Group Creativity Techniques.

 Brainstorming.

 Nominal group technique.

 Idea/mind mapping.

 Affinity diagram.

 Multicriteria decision analysis.

 Collection Requirement Process: The Foundation

for Project Scope Definition
 Step 1: Identify the needs’ of the stakeholders.’
 Step2: Document the needs & requirements.
 Step3: Manage them throughout the project to meet project goals’.
 According to PMI, about 70% project’s failure is attributed to requirement collection.
While most of these projects were meeting schedule & budget criterion, they failed to
meet the stakeholder’s requirements. This Product conflict was observed during the final
project delivery or project closure phase. This process impacts negatively on project
success!
