解説
問 39
Incorrectア
Creating a schedule and adjusting it according to progress and change requests belongs to project time (schedule) management. It handles only the time aspect, namely defining activities, sequencing them, estimating durations, and controlling the schedule; it is not integration management, which coordinates across multiple knowledge areas.
Incorrectイ
Identifying all the work necessary for the project's success, without omission or excess, belongs to project scope management. It is the activity of using a WBS (work breakdown structure) to define deliverables and the scope of work with no gaps and no overlaps, and its target is limited to the scope of work. It is not a description of integration management.
- ウ
正解 Project integration management is the activity that acts as the coordinator, cutting across individual knowledge areas such as cost, scope, and time to keep the whole project consistent. Specifically, it covers developing the project charter, integrating the project management plan, directing and managing project execution, integrated change control (receiving change requests in one place, evaluating their impact, and approving or rejecting them), and the closing procedures. Choice ウ says: throughout the project life cycle of initiation, planning, execution, and closing, adjust cost and duration in response to change requests. It satisfies all three points: (1) it covers the entire life cycle; (2) it deals with change requests, events that ripple through the whole project; and (3) it performs coordination that spans multiple knowledge areas, namely cost and duration. This is exactly integrated change control, the core of integration management. Therefore ウ is correct.
Incorrectエ
Managing costs so that they stay within budget, based on the initial budget and the progress status, belongs to project cost management. It handles only the cost aspect, namely estimating costs, determining the budget, and controlling costs, and its role differs from integration management, which reviews change requests in one place and passes their effects on to each knowledge area.
ここがポイント
- Project integration management is the coordinator that cuts across individual knowledge areas such as cost, scope, and time. It is responsible for developing the project charter, integrating the plan, directing execution, integrated change control, and closing. In particular, handling change requests (integrated change control) is a representative activity that spans the entire life cycle.
- Memorize the boundaries of each knowledge area separately: creating and adjusting the schedule = time management; identifying the necessary work (WBS) = scope management; keeping costs within budget = cost management. If a choice talks about only a single area, you can judge that it is not integration management.
