[All PMP Questions]

A project manager is planning a project with multiple work packages. Each work package has its own defined scope, but funding will be at the project level.
How should the project manager determine if the allocated resource budget is sufficient to cover the resource costs of the project?

  • A. Estimate the costs at the work package level and add those costs to calculate the total cost of the project and compare it to the allocated budget.
  • B. Create a budget burndown and a scope burnup and then verify that the project scope is completed before the allocated budget is depleted.
  • C. Divide the allocated budget by the number of work packages and verify that each work package can be completed within the allocated budget.
  • D. Fund each work package in the order of its importance and shift any remaining scope from non-funded work packages to funded work packages.

Selected Answer: A
A is correct in my opinion because estimating the cost at work package level offers a bottom up estimate and a clear visibility of all the resources used.

Selected Answer: A
Option A uses a bottom-up estimate (this is a form of calculating estimates at the work package level to determine project budget)

Once the budget has been calculated at the work package level, this information can now be compared with the inital given budget. Option D is wrong because it focuses on prioritization and this does not help you help you calculate the total project budget.
