ITPEC IP April 2026 Question 54
When the management of a project is divided into progress management, quality management, and cost management, which of the following is most appropriate to be checked in progress management?
Explanation
The impact of an activity's delay on the entire schedule — progress management tracks the schedule.
Progress management compares actual progress with the plan, and when an activity slips it asks how far the delay spreads: an activity on the critical path delays the whole project, one with float may not. Countermeasures such as adding staff or reordering work follow from that assessment.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- •(a) — whether an integration test covers enough viewpoints is a question of test quality: quality management
- •(b) — how much cost is expected to grow is a forecast of spending: cost management
- •(d) — a design review procedure for finding design defects is part of quality management
Key rule: Sort project checks by what they protect: time and schedule (progress), conformance and defects (quality), money (cost).
