ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 Question 53
ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 — Question 53 of 80
Given: 500 FP, productivity = 10 FP/person-month, installation & education = 10 person-months, project management = 10% of (development + installation + education).
- •Development:
500 ÷ 10 = 50person-months - •Installation & education:
10person-months - •Subtotal:
50 + 10 = 60person-months - •Project management:
60 × 0.1 = 6person-months - •Total: `60 + 6 = 66` person-months
Why not others:
- (a) 51 — applies management to development only and omits installation/education
- (b) 60 — omits project management entirely
- (c) 65 — applies management (10%) to development only, not to the full subtotal
Key rule: Project management overhead is calculated on the combined effort of all non-management activities (development + installation + education), not just development alone.
