A project is experiencing schedule variance, and multiple work streams are making conflicting changes to recover. The project manager needs to ensure the changes are coordinated. What should the project manager do?

Focus only on the critical path and ignore other work streams

Stop all work until the schedule variance is resolved

Use the integration management plan to coordinate changes across all processes

Let each work stream implement its own recovery plan

What is the primary purpose of the integration management plan?

To schedule project activities in chronological order

To list all project risks and their responses

To coordinate all project management processes and ensure the project plan is executed cohesively

To define the project's quality standards

A software project has three paths: Path 1 (Design → Code → Test) = 30 days, Path 2 (Design → Code → Integration) = 26 days, and Path 3 (Design → Documentation → Review) = 22 days. The project manager wants to identify which activities are critical. Which activities should be flagged?

Design, Code, and Integration, because they have the most dependencies

Design, Code, and Test, because they lie on the longest path

All activities, because every activity must be completed for the project to finish

Design, Documentation, and Review, because they are the earliest in the schedule

What is the primary purpose of the quality management plan?

To schedule quality audits at specific milestones

To ensure project deliverables meet quality standards through quality assurance and control processes

To define the project's communication channels

To list all project risks and their responses
