This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 52
Incorrectア
Considering a change of task order to shorten the critical path is an activity of schedule (project time management) alone, not the integration management that coordinates multiple areas.
- イ
正解 The role of project integration management is to coordinate and keep the overall balance across the individual management areas such as time, cost, and human resources. When moving up the delivery deadline (compressing the schedule) is decided, one must line up “how many extra staff to add”, “how much that costs”, and “how many days can be shortened” on a single table, and compare the trade-offs among additional staffing (human resources), cost, and the number of days that can be shortened (schedule). This cross-area comparison and coordination is exactly the activity of integration management, and choice “イ” fits it, so it is the correct answer.
Incorrectウ
Estimating the impact of schedule compression on cost is an activity of cost (project cost management) alone. It deals with only the single area of cost, not cross-area coordination.
Incorrectエ
Reviewing the timing of staff allocation and revising the staffing plan is an activity of human resources (project human resource management) alone, and does not amount to integration management.
- Project integration management is an activity that coordinates and balances across multiple management areas such as time, cost, and human resources, and is distinguished from work confined to a single area.
- In the decision to move up the delivery deadline (compress the schedule), the cross-area coordination of laying out and comparing the trade-offs among additional staffing, cost, and the number of days that can be shortened is what constitutes integration management.
