Exam PMP topic 1 question 530 discussion

A CPI less than 1 indicates that the project is over budget. Specifically, for every dollar spent, the project is only earning 93.3 cents of value. This situation suggests that the project is not as cost-efficient as planned. Given these considerations, the correct conclusion about the project's performance is: C. The project will be difficult to complete as planned. This conclusion is based on the CPI being less than 1, indicating that the project is over budget and thus will require more funds than initially planned or will need to cut costs to meet the original budget, both of which can make the project more challenging to complete as originally planned.

C. The project will be difficult to complete as planned

The key finding of the Cost Performance Index (CPI) being 0.933 indicates that the project is performing below expectations in terms of cost efficiency. The Cost Performance Index (CPI) is calculated by dividing the earned value (EV) by the actual cost (AC). In this case, the CPI is less than 1 (0.933), which suggests that the project is over budget. This means that the project is incurring more costs than what has been earned.

Why dont w calculate TCPI ; If we calculate it we will get 0.933 which means that B is the answer... and all solutions has the word to complete in it

Do is possible, but C is true

C is correct. The CPI is not really that bad, it is just under 1. Which means there is still a chance to meet the budget at completion if the project team can fast track an activity or just perform at their best. It is difficult to meet the budget but not impossible.

D is right
