Incorrectア
Activities for communicating information efficiently, such as updating the mailing list, fall under “project communications management”. They are not activities that deal with cost (expenses).
Incorrectイ
Arranging training on the testing tools for new members to raise their capabilities is developing personnel, which falls under “project resource management”. It is not estimating costs or revising the budget itself.
Incorrectウ
Adding assigned work and changing the schedule falls under “project schedule management”. It is management of time (the work process), not management of cost.
- エ
正解 Cost management is the activity of estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs so that the project is completed within budget. Adding test personnel incurs labor costs for the extra members, so estimating those labor costs and revising the cost plan (budget) is precisely an activity of project cost management. Therefore, “エ” is the most appropriate.
ここがポイント
- Project cost management is the activity of completing a project within its approved budget through cost estimating, budgeting, and control. Estimating labor costs and revising the budget (plan) fall under it.
- The key to solving this is to judge which knowledge area (cost / communications / resource / schedule) each activity belongs to, based on what it deals with (expenses / information communication / personnel / work process).
