ITPEC IP October 2020 Question 57

Roles and responsibilities to be allocated — people are matched to roles, so the roles must be defined first.

Project resource management first identifies the roles the project needs, with each role's responsibilities, authority and required skills, often in a responsibility assignment matrix (RAM). Members are then chosen and assigned so that their skills and availability fit those roles and every responsibility has an owner.

Answer (d)

Why not others:

• •(a) — the cost estimation method (analogous, parametric, bottom-up) decides how the budget is estimated: cost management
• •(b) — how progress is reported is communication management; it does not say who should do which work
• •(c) — acceptance standards say when a deliverable is complete (quality and scope), not who should produce it

Key rule: Define the work and the roles first (WBS, RAM), then assign people whose skills fit each role.
