Project management and construction engineering quizz: Program Matrix
Which of the following best describes what a program is:
* A group of elements, either human or non-human, that is organized and arranged in such a way that the elements can act as a whole toward achieving some common goal or objective.
* time phased tasks necessary to accomplish a particular purpose, usually a longer term broad goal. The first level of breakdown of a Portfolio
* time phased efforts, the first level of breakdown of a program, unique, one time, one of a kind with specific start and end date Projects that remain almost entirely within one functional area are best managed by the:
* Assigned functional employees
* Project manager
* Functional Manager
* Project sponsor A grouping of projects is called a:
* Project template
* Program
* Business template
* Business plan Project management methodologies often work best if they are structured around:
* Rigid policies
* Rigid procedures
* minimal checklists or templates
* Life cycle phases or Milestones Which of the following is NOT a result of Project management methodologies developed to replace rigid policies and procedures:
* Success parameters, cost baselines, schedule baselines
* Frameworks, processes, checklists
* Flexible forms and checklists or templates In which organizational form is it most difficult to integrate project activities?
* Classical/traditional
* Projectized
* Strong matrix
* Weak matrix In which organization form would the project manager possess the greatest amount of authority? In which organization would the project manager possess the least?
* Projectized / Weak matrix
* Weak matrix / Strong matrix
* Weak matrix / Projectized
* Traditional / Weak matrix In which organizational form is the project manager least likely to share resources with other projects?
* Projectized
* Strong matrix
* Weak matrix
* Classical/Traditional In which organizational form do project managers have the greatest likelihood of possessing reward power and have a wage-and-salary administration function? (The project and line manager are the same person.)
* Classical/Traditional
* Projectized
* Strong matrix
* Weak matrix In which type of matrix structure would a project manager most likely have a command of technology?
* Balanced matrix
* Weak matrix
* Strong matrix
* Cross-cultural matrix
