   A project manager is evaluating the final schedule performance of a project that used a rolling wave planning approach. The baseline was established for the first phase, and detailed schedules were developed for later phases as the project progressed. At closeout, the project manager compares the final schedule to the original baseline and finds significant variances in the later phases. What is the most appropriate conclusion?

   • AThe project failed because it did not adhere to the baseline.
   • BThe scheduling approach was ineffective because it did not provide a stable baseline.
   • CThe project manager should have used a waterfall approach to avoid variances.
   • DThe variances are expected because the baseline was not intended to be a fixed target for later phases.
