解説

問 52

ア
正解 Project scope management is the knowledge area that defines and manages “what is included in the project and what is not,” and its central deliverable is the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). Because the change control board approved adding the new feature—that is, the scope change was approved—the very first activity to perform as scope management is to reflect (modify) the work for that new feature in the WBS. Option ア, “modify the WBS in order to additionally develop the new feature and provide it as information for cost estimation,” is exactly an activity centered on updating the WBS, so it is appropriate as a scope management activity.
Incorrectイ
Confirming the skills needed to perform the WBS activities and improving the team's capabilities is an activity of “resource (human resource) management.” Although it uses the modified WBS as input, it is not an activity of scope management itself.
Incorrectウ
Creating a schedule based on the modified WBS and presenting a forecast of the completion date is an activity of “schedule (time) management.” It is downstream work that uses the WBS as input, not an activity of scope management.
Incorrectエ
Checking the adequacy of staffing based on the modified WBS and considering outsourcing as needed is an activity of “resource management / procurement management.” This too uses the WBS as input, but it is not scope management itself.

ここがポイント

The core deliverable of project scope management is the WBS. Once a scope change is approved, updating (modifying) the WBS first is the scope management activity.
Subsequent activities that use the updated WBS as input (scheduling = time, checking skills and staffing = resource, outsourcing = procurement) belong to other knowledge areas. The point being tested is distinguishing which knowledge area an activity belongs to.
