ITPEC IP October 2024 Question 51

C and D are failures of scope management because they concern missing definition of the required product and required project work. C starts development without deciding which function is to be created, so product scope is undefined. D omits necessary activities from the plan, so project scope is incomplete. Both can cause delay or non-completion, but the underlying failure is defining all required work.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- A is primarily cost management: labor cost was underestimated and the budget was exceeded
- B is primarily schedule management: insufficient time was allocated
- (a), (b), and (c) each include A or B and omit one of the scope failures

Key rule: Scope management defines what the project must deliver and all work needed to deliver it; cost and schedule management address money and time.
